l think the most important lesson I’ve learned at Horizons for Youth is that family isn’t just blood. It’s the support around us.

Horizons for Youth has opened a whole new world for me. They set you up to succeed, and if it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t be here today.

Knowing the importance of having a genuine mentor, who is really invested in the program and in me as a student, is why I am a mentor today.

Words from our community

The best thing about Horizons for Youth is that it provides students and families with what they need to be the best version of themselves.
Tiffany

Seeing Bryce grow up the last six years has profoundly changed my outlook. I am grateful to be a part of his life and to witness the tangible changes as he grows up and finds his place in the world.
Peter
Big Sib Mentor
We work hard to have a diverse racial, religious, and socioeconomic population. Horizons for Youth heard that and responded to that in a very positive way.
Mary Ellen

Horizons for Youth has really been able to supplement the resources our students need that our schools cannot provide on their own.
