The NV Student Advisory Network (NV SAN)
is a regularly scheduled meeting of high school students who attend schools in our New Visions network. Students use research skills to collaboratively work on projects and provide recommendations to improve the work of New Visions on both a school and systemic level.

Cohort Focus: Using a virtual program model, students worked in small project groups with staff members from departments across New Visions. The student-staff groups produced research and resources ranging from lesson plans on writing narratives, financial literacy lessons, research on digital device distribution in schools, social emotional learning in high school and a student engagement training for school staff members.
