HOW CAN I HELP?

At Vision Cashiers, we are dedicated to improving the opportunities for our children. Many residents don't know the variety of offerings Cashiers provides and we are out to communicate that. We invite you to learn more and engage in this initiative.
CASHIERS CONNECT
With our organization’s vision always in mind, we strive to provide high speed internet for the entire area.
We recently installed a free WiFi district (11 hotspots) for the commercial area of Cashiers.

WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
We are out to build alliances with schools, employers, country clubs, the Boys and Girls Club of the Plateau and other facilities to train the unskilled to be employable in our market.
