The Vision 2030 project aims to establish and advance a Conference of Catholic Youth Leaders, where young Senegalese and Gambians living in the United States, Senegal, and Gambia identify problems and solutions of their own development and their communities. The idea that the United States should also be the main base, has major positive implications. The country hosts the headquarters of a large number and variety of international organizations, including the intergovernmental, multinational corporations, and global nongovernmental organizations. Further, the presence of a Catholic Church with vast resources, large local corporations and other civil society organizations, embassies for most countries in the world, as well as a diverse people with a wide range of expertise, increases access to various resources

Access to reliable and affordable internet and a variety of advanced technologies enable our teams to connect more conveniently and efficiently as they work together to find solutions to their own development and their communities. Young Senegalese and Gambian Catholics in the Northeast and Southeast regions live within driving distance or short flights, giving them the opportunity to gather at least once a year. Northeast region: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Southeast region: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia
