Founded in 1964 and expanding nationally since 1995, Horizons is a network of high-quality, tuition-free, immersive, academic and enrichment programs for low-income children, providing out-of-school-time supports for the duration of a child’s Pre-K-12th grade experience. Horizons students, all of whom are free-or-reduced-lunch qualified, come from public schools, with roughly 2/3 performing below grade level when they first arrive. Horizons programs operate outside of the regular school day, with a six-week summer intensive, after school, and on weekends. The network has 52+ programs across 17 states and is growing every year. The six-week summer session is Horizons’ hallmark. Beginning in Pre-K or Kindergarten, students join a cohort that receives ample individual attention in a new educational environment: the resource-rich campus of an independent school, college, or university. Horizons programs blend high-quality academics – with an emphasis on literacy and STEM – with arts, fitness, cultural enrichment, field trips, and confidence-building challenges, particularly swimming. Returning year-after-year, our students, staff, and families develop deep, trusting relationships. Horizons is unique among summer programs for four reasons: our insistence on exceptional program quality; partnership with students’ families; long-term approach; and balanced support of academic achievement and healthy youth development. Evidence shows the Horizons approach mitigates gaps of opportunity, skills, and achievement: • Over each 6-week summer session, Horizons students achieve an average 8 to 12 weeks improvement in reading and math – reversing the typical “summer slide” and sending students back to school ahead of where they left in June; • 99% of students in Horizons high school programs graduate on time; • Students show improved social skills, self-confidence, motivation, attitudes toward learning, and school-year attendance. The mission of Horizons National is to initiate, support, and ensure the quality of Horizons programs throughout the United States.

PeerForward transforms the lives of low-income youth by connecting them to college and careers through our innovative program, PeerForward. The PeerForward Method guides students to make postsecondary education plans by tapping a resource found in every single high school in the nation: influential students. It is informed and validated by research on the key actions essential for postsecondary degree attainment. We train teams of influential students to run campaigns in their schools driving actions that research shows are the leading indicators to eventual postsecondary enrollment and success: filing for financial aid, applying to at least three institutions, and connecting career aspirations with academic decisions made in high school.
