Give NowSTRONGER TOGETHEROur Commitment to Community
Horizons is a diverse and growing national network united by a shared purpose: expanding educational opportunity so every child has the support they need to thrive. Across the country, our affiliates operate student-centered, out-of-school learning programs rooted in strong local partnerships. Horizons National strengthens this work by providing resources, training, and shared learning that helps the network grow, adapt, and deliver lasting impact.
Together, we are a vibrant community of educators, staff, volunteers, families, students, and alumni who believe that opportunity grows when communities invest in young people and in one another.
Opportunity For All
We Strive To:
- Reduce barriers to learning by recognizing how economic circumstances and other external factors can affect students’ educational experiences and well-being.
- Expand access to high-quality educational opportunities through partnerships with schools, families, and community organizations that support the whole child and foster a sense of belonging.
- Build inclusive, welcoming programs so Horizons reflects the communities we serve and creates environments where students and families feel valued and supported.
- Stand with our communities by promoting practices and policies that protect students’ opportunities, safety, and ability to thrive.
Our work is grounded in listening and learning. The perspectives of students, families, educators, program leaders, board members, and alumni shape our priorities through ongoing dialogue, surveys, and reflection. This shared learning helps ensure our programs remain responsive, effective, and rooted in real experience.
Through our values of Collaboration, Shared Learning and Growth, Impact, and Respect and Inclusion, we seek to ensure that every child has the opportunity to grow, thrive, and lead—today and in the future.
Mission
We advance educational equity by building long-term partnerships with students, families, communities, and schools to create experiences outside of school that inspire the joy of learning.
