Horizons for Youth Sets Sights on High School Expansion

Through extensive research, our Board of Directors and Staff have discovered that while our students continue to be accepted to the top high schools in Chicago, they are experiencing significant gaps in both financial assistance and support programs during their secondary years. 

HFY High School
 

In order to ensure that our students can achieve their potential and attend these top schools, Horizons for Youth is proud to announce the expansion of our current programs into high school.
