Mission Statement
Horizons for Youth is a community committed to helping children recognize and achieve their full potential. We provide a comprehensive academic program and support services to help students overcome the limitations of their neighborhoods and graduate from high school with a post-secondary plan. Our program offers: need-based tuition scholarships; personalized mentoring & tutoring; high school & college preparation; enrichment outings; year-round academic monitoring & support.
About This Cause
Our History and Goals In 1991, Horizons for Youth was founded to provide access and opportunity to Chicago children from under-resourced neighborhoods. Our founders believed that all students deserve a quality education, a strong adult support system, and exposure to the larger community. Because of Horizons for Youth, over 200 children benefit from our services today, and we aim to grow each year to serve as many deserving students as possible. Our Students and Families Horizons for Youth is committed to serving students from under-resourced areas in Chicago. While there is no academic benchmark required of our students, families must demonstrate substantial need to receive our services. Parent Partnership Our comprehensive wraparound services involve a significant time commitment and the trust of our students’ families. We rely on a partnership with parents to support their children’s efforts toward personal achievement.. This collaboration enables us to achieve our mission while also developing a strong sense of community. Many scholars refer to Horizons for Youth as their second family and “home away from home.” Our Program Horizons for Youth provides valuable resources to our students 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. Our one-on-one mentoring offers each student a positive role model, our tutoring improves their academic performance and study skills, and our enrichment outings help students explore the community. Supplemental services such as counseling and summer programming provide valuable resources that would otherwise be out of reach for many of our families. Unlike other scholarship-granting organizations and after school tutoring programs, Horizons for Youth will serve children of any ability, any background, and any neighborhood. Horizons for Youth will provide a high-quality education to any deserving student ready to work hard, strive to be his or her best, and persevere against the challenges that face them. We commit to students who are committed to their futures.
