Who Is Niagara United Vision, Inc

Niagara United Vision, Inc., is a 501 (c) (3) Community Development non-for-profit organization that serves communities in Niagara Falls. Niagara United Vision, Inc., advocates for social injustice within the community. So far we have fought for the building of a community park on the north end of the city; founded the "Juneteenth Scholarship Banquet and Ball", where all participants were awarded college scholarships between $2000.00 and $5000.00; and in 2022, Niagara United Vision, Inc., was engaged throughout the community, building or upgrading community gardens to provide fresh fruit and vegetables for those in need. In 2023, we have major plans to continue cultivating the community we deserve! 

our Founder

Ms. Arlene (Jackson) Doss, USA, MSG (R) President/CEO

Ms. (Jackson) Doss was born and raised in the city of Niagara

Falls, NY. One of ten children, her parents Reverends Rich and

Margaret Jackson planted the seed that, “through God all

things are possible.” She graduated from Niagara Falls High

School, June 1976, in December of 1976, she joined the United

States Army Reserves. Arlene graduated from Erie County

Community College (ECCC) with a degree in Mental

Health/Substance Counseling. After graduating from ECCC, she

attended Niagara University, Niagara University, NY and

obtained her bachelors degree in Social Work.


In 2005, Ms. Doss was called to active duty to serve her second

tour in Iraq. Following her second deployment MSG Doss was

requested to remain on active duty to aid with the training of

military units rotating throughout areas of the

operations. After serving three years a Fort McCoy, Wisconsin

MSG Doss was assigned to the Europe Regional Medical

Command G/3 Operations in Heidelburg, Germany. While in

stationed in Europe, MSG Doss continued her education

receiving a masters degree in Business Administration and a

Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Certification. After serving 38 years in

the military and five years as a civil servant, Arlene retired from

civil service and returned home to Niagara Falls.


While growing up in the city of Niagara Falls, Ms. Doss always

had opportunities as a youth that enhanced her quality of life.

The neighborhood community center afforded the youth in the

area to engage in many after school activities such as cooking

and sewing lessons, one of the best bands and drill team of

Western New York was developed within that community

center. Ms. Doss participated in Brownies and Girl Scouts, team

games, reading and math programs that assisted with

improving the children’s education in the community.

One year after returning home she decided to support the

community using the military motto of selfless service and

founded Niagara United Vision, Inc., a 501 (c) (3) Community

Development non-for-profit organization that serves

communities in Niagara Falls.
