Horizons for Youth is Chicago’s only organization providing need-based scholarships, comprehensive support programs and educational resources for students of all academic ability levels from kindergarten through the start of their career.
Through our holistic approach, 99 percent of our participants have graduated from high school and 84 percent have graduated from college or are currently pursuing their degree. These results prove that with the right combination of competencies, family investment, and community support every child, regardless of socio-economic status, can reach their full potential.
Words from parents and mentors
The greatest thing about Horizons for Youth is that it provides students and families with that they need to be the best version of themselves possible.
Tiffany, Horizons for Youth parent
I really love the bond that my mentee and I have been forming. Seeing his growth each visit is remarkable. And having him open up more and more with me is great. I really look forward to our continued relationship and continuing to see him grow!
Patrick, Horizons for Youth mentor
As a mentor, I try to impress on my mentee that she has a wonderful opportunity at Horizons for Youth. Of course, I remind her that she still has to put in the work, but she has a wealth of resources to help her make sure her future is bright.
Tiffany, Horizons for Youth mentor
Horizons is an extension of the family. It is a way to give back when you can and it is a valuable asset in the guidance and the support of not only my children but also our family.
