Valley Initiative for Development and Advancement (VIDA)

Valley Initiative for Development and Advancement (VIDA) is a community based, non-profit 501 (c) 3 agency. Created in 1995, VIDA was the result of a local effort led by community leaders of Valley Interfaith (VIF) and private industry business leaders .  The impetus was the need to empower  the underserved residents of the Region  with the tools – education and training – to become self  sufficient and in tandem, fuel the growth of the existing employers and increase the recruitment of new investment to the area by developing a highly skilled workforce.

Since its inception, the mission of Project VIDA has remained constant, to formulate new institutional relationships in the Rio Grande Valley that simultaneously address employers' needs for skilled workers and link the area's unemployed and underemployed with high skilled, high wage jobs identified in the region. Project VIDA works closely with the business sector, training providers, and community-based organizations with the mission of developing a skilled workforce to meet the demands of employers along the border.
