How to Get Started

Sign In to Your Account

Log in to access Vision Builder so we can save your board to your account. Sign in with your College Board account or create one for free.

Build Your Board and Share Your Ideas

Choose or upload images that speak to you. These could be your own photos, something from Unsplash, a Canva design, or even a meme. Then write a couple sentences about what you included and why.

Put Your Vision Into Words

Your board of images becomes a set of written statements about what matters to you.

Why Make a Vision Board?

More than half of teens say they feel pressure to have their future figured out, but only 45% feel prepared to make college and career decisions. That’s why we created Vision Builder.

Show What’s on Your Mind

Take the inspiration and ideas swirling in your mind and get help putting them into words.

Make Your College Exploration Easier

Once you know what matters most to you, finding the best college for you gets simpler.

Start the Conversation

Download your board and statements, or pull them up when talking to your counselor, family, or mentor so they can see what matters most to you.

Your Plans Can Change

Go back anytime to update your board and statements so they keep feeling like you.
