Expanding Learning, Expanding Horizons

We are facing an education crisis of historic proportions. Students across the country are testing behind an average of 4 months in math and 5 months in reading. Students living in areas most affected by school closures, illness, and lack of community resources during the pandemic are now facing even more challenges, and many have lost an average of 7 months in reading. School districts alone can't provide students the support they need to recover, and many educators are feeling overwhelmed and burnt-out.

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 hallmark 6-week summer program has engaged over 10,000 students from Pre-K through high school, who return to the program each year for project-based literacy, art, and STEM learning, field trips, swimming, healthy living, and community building in a joyful, supportive environment.

Decades of successful program operation have demonstrated that our research-based, high-quality, long-term approach to supporting students drives student confidence, 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.

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