Welcome to Horizons for Youth!

Horizons for Youth is a community committed to helping children successfully graduate high school, continue onto college and ultimately reach their full potential. In partnership with dedicated families, we provide 133 hard-working students need-based scholarships, a summer program, one-on-one mentoring, monthly enrichment outings, tutoring, and college preparation. Our program has proven results. With over 100 graduates, Horizons for Youth alumni maintain a 99% high school graduation rate and 80% college attendance rate. We believe that with proper support, every child has the ability to succeed.


We invite you to join the Horizons for Youth community and help provide life changing opportunities for a student. Your involvement can help change the trajectory of a child’s life.
