ABOUT NEW VISION EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

New Vision Educational Development (NVED) is a purpose-driven nonprofit organization founded in 2020 by Dr. Boyer Cross, PhD, with over 15 years of residential and behavioral health service experience in Arizona.

What began as a mission to improve the lives of vulnerable youth has evolved into a comprehensive transitional support organization serving young adults, homeless youth, and survivors of exploitation.

Today, NVED focuses on stabilization, transitional housing, workforce development, and emergency intervention for youth and young adults who are at risk of homelessness, unemployment, exploitation, or system involvement.

We specialize in:

• Transitional housing for young adults and homeless youth
• Immediate emergency shelter for sex trafficked boys and girls
• Workforce development and job placement assistance
• Job readiness and life skills training
• Community resource navigation and placement coordination
• Inter-generational and structured housing models
• Vocational training and employment partnerships
• Transportation support for employment and programming
• Crisis stabilization and behavioral health support
• Assistance in securing safe and appropriate placement for youth

NVED serves as a bridge  connecting vulnerable youth and young adults to safe housing, employment opportunities, education, and long-term stability. We understand that shelter alone is not enough. Stability requires purpose, mentorship, structure, and economic opportunity.

Our organization also assists with placement coordination, helping youth transition into appropriate residential programs, workforce programs, or safe community-based environments based on their individual needs.

We are committed to meeting youth where they are  whether they are homeless, aging out of foster care, victims of trafficking, or simply in need of direction and stability  and guiding them toward independence and long-term success.
