Founders Council

 

Horizons National was founded in 1995 to build on the proven success of the inaugural Horizons program at New Canaan Country School and to share that model with communities across the country.

The founding board members believed deeply in expanding this opportunity to new communities, even as they discovered just how many dedicated partners, long-term commitments, and community relationships were needed to make it possible. At the time, few could have imagined that more than 70 Horizons sites would flourish nationwide.

Our Founders credit this remarkable growth to the countless people who have invested their time, resources, and vision in Horizons National. In turn, generations of students, families, educators, and supporters are grateful for the Founders’ commitment to keeping relationships and community at the heart of every Horizons program.

Today, the Founders Council continues to champion this mission, inspiring new generations to expand what’s possible.
