Let's Meet this Moment Together!

Expanding Learning, Expanding Horizons

Across our country, there’s something we can’t ignore: our kids are struggling. From disrupted schooling and social unrest to a growing mental health crisis, the young people of our country need our support, and it’s clear that schools can’t do it by themselves. Chronic absenteeism is on the rise, with 36% of U.S. 4th graders missing 10% or more of school days in 2022, up from 24% in 2019. Chronic absenteeism has been linked to diminished health, involvement with the criminal justice system, and poverty. Many schools lack the resources needed for extended learning, quality teaching, and student support to help kids catch up.

This moment is where programs like Horizons shine. We know from decades of program operation that our research-based, high-quality, long-term approach to supporting students drives student joy, well-being, and academic achievement. We know some of the most important learning takes place during out-of-school time, and that students thrive when they are supported by positive relationships. We are at the forefront of a movement - an all-hands-on-deck effort to help our nation’s students - and Horizons has the solution.

Our work is more urgent than ever before. Join the movement and support Horizons to help us provide equitable learning opportunities for more students.
