Mission

Parkour Visions seeks to improve the health and well-being of today's movement-starved and overworked population by revealing the world filled with rewarding mental and physical challenges that everyone can playfully use to improve themselves. We are a nonprofit organization bringing the exciting new sport of parkour / freerunning into mainstream society in a safe and responsible way through our classes, outreach programs, educational resources, and partnerships.

Programs

Parkour Visions is unique among non-profits. We are one of the first to offer public parkour classes and a certified instructor program. We have also customized our curriculum to assist outreach programs targeting disadvantaged youth, supplement physical education programs in schools, and offer free beginner workshops for first-timers. We promote the safe and responsible practice of parkour through partnerships with local parkour communities and with parks & rec departments.
