Impact

Transforming Lives

Today, too few children have the chance to learn and grow in an environment that helps them achieve their goals. But all around the country, Horizons programs are filling the gaps of opportunity for low-income students. By cultivating the joy of learning, the skills for success, and the inspiration to realize their dreams, Horizons changes the trajectory of students’ lives, opening up a pathway to successful adulthood.
