One of the most important roles of Horizons National is to expand our program Network. Each year, we build partnerships in new communities to welcome more students and families to Horizons, helping support each program's launch and sustainability as they grow. Now, we have an ambitious goal: to expand the Horizons Network to 100 sites by 2025, building the capacity to support nearly 12,000 students nationwide.
A tagline is one of many important brand elements that tells people what an organization does in just a few words. Often, taglines are created at the organization’s Board of Directors or staff leadership level, leading to well-intentioned results that may not truly represent the people the organization exists to support. When it came time to update our tagline at Horizons National, we wanted to flip this process on its head, and ensure that the tagline we chose felt truly authentic to the students, families, and communities we partner with.
