Director – New Vision Pioneers

We are a Volunteer Network and one of five Groups under the TelecomPioneers non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that has been in existence for 112 years!

Our motto is “Answering The Call Of Those In Need”. Our projects cover a wide range of community needs including Education, Environmental, Health & Human Services, Life Enrichment and Military.

As with all non-profits, funding is a primary concern. Our funding in small part comes from member dues, and in large part from our retirees who continue to have a connection as former dues paying members and/or volunteers in their local chapters. Chapters also fundraise locally to supplement the funds they receive from National and Group fundraising efforts and Grants. More funding would mean more support to many more agencies, adults, children and families in our communities

I would like to take this opportunity to Thank all the Pioneers of the New Vision Group for their outstanding service to their communities. In 2023, with some COVID-19 restrictions limiting personal onsite visits, New Vision Pioneers donated food to food kitchens, clothing and hygiene supplies to domestic shelters and veteran homes accumulating a total 215,879 volunteer hours x $29 a volunteer hour = $6,260,491.00  back to our communities in volunteer time! Those are only the hours we know.

If you have an email, please share it with us. We regularly send out information on Volunteer efforts, your local chapters’ newsletters and upcoming fundraising efforts.     If you choose to get your information from us in this manner, it will save the Chapter money that can be directed to a project.

If you are on Facebook, Like your local Chapter’s Facebook page or the Group page (https://www.facebook.com/NewVisionPioneers) to keep updated on everyone’s  efforts. Just type New Vision Pioneers in the Search bar and you will find those that have a page.

We will continue to develop strategies to best serve our members, our communities and the growth of our leadership.

Please continue to support the New Vision Pioneers in volunteering and reporting your time, donating to national marketing appeals and local fundraising efforts. Continue to be engaged and communicate with us and each other.

I look forward to serving you in 2024.  I may be reached at paul.redline@verizon.net
