In the North Texas community, we face pressing challenges that hinder the holistic development of our youth, leading to academic struggles, below-grade-level literacy, limited coping skills, and a lack of exposure to critical STEM education. Moreover, we recognize the vital importance of faith-building for building resilience and hope among young individuals. As such, we are committed to continuing the New Horizons of North Texas after-school program to address these pressing needs and empower the next generation of well-rounded, compassionate, and confident leaders.
New Horizons of North Texas has a focused population of at-risk children and youth in the North Texas area. Our students are between the grade levels of kindergarten and eighth grade, and the ages of five years and 13 years old. Several factors comprise the label of “at-risk” for the children and youth in the NHNTX program, including, but not limited to family income level (most are at free or reduced economic level for the school lunch program), family support system (most are from a single parent or grandparent home with little support), academic performance (most are performing below grade level), coping or social skills (most struggle with social behaviors and with the ability to emote), and generational patterns (most are from families who continue in the same economic, social, and academic patterns).
The New Horizons of North Texas After-School Program is a transformative initiative designed to provide a nurturing and enriching environment for youth in the North Texas community. Our program is committed to empowering students with the tools and skills necessary to succeed academically, socially, and emotionally. Through a comprehensive approach that combines academic support, literacy skills, social skills, coping skills, and faith-building activities, we aim to unlock the potential of every participant and foster a generation of well-rounded, confident, and compassionate individuals grounded in faith and God’s love.
New Horizons of North Texas is a no-cost program that seeks to empower at-risk youth to reach their full potential through tutoring, mentoring, and faith-building! We aim to combat generational poverty and give hope to North Texas families and students for their future.
Our Vision: We envision all at-risk youth completing high school with a plan for the future to become contributing members of society.
