New Horizons of North Texas: After school is our mission field—sharing the Gospel is our calling.
At New Horizons of North Texas, we are committed to shaping the hearts of children, strengthening families, and uplifting communities across North Texas through our mission - to empower North Texas students and vulnerable youth to reach their full potential through tutoring, mentoring, and faith-building through an afterschool program that is totally free to them and their families.
Afterschool Program
Our Afterschool Program is established at 5 separate campuses throughout the DFW region through a partnership with Uplift Education Charter Schools, DFW's largest free charter school program. We are expected to serve an upward of 500 students this new school year. Through one on one mentoring and tutoring, we focus on improving our students reading and math literacy, their social-emotional health and sharing with them the greatest source of Hope for their lives which is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We provide a safe place for them to engage in healthy community, form friendships, have access to engaging hands on learning activities, nutritious afterschool snacks and devotionals. Children are not required to participate in the faith aspect of our program, at either their or their parents request, but we do create a safe environment in which they can ask questions and learn more about having a relationship with Jesus.
Adopt-A-Family Christmas Program:
We believe the best way to help our students is through a holistic approach—serving not only the children but also their families. Each Christmas, we anonymously support low-income families or those going through difficult times by providing gifts and essentials based on their wish lists. We often rely on charitable and generous individuals to select a family to sponsor. However, when there aren’t enough sponsors, NHNTX steps in to ensure that every family who applied within the given time frame is provided for.
Project Justification:
53% of North Texas students are not reading on grade level. Students who cannot read proficiently by the end of 3rd grade are four times morelikely to drop out of high school than proficient readers.
60% are not meeting grade-level expectations in math. A child who struggles with math is likely to earn 20% less in adulthood than a peer with strong math skills.
1 in 5 children under the age of 18 in Texas reports struggling with mental, emotional, or behavioral challenges. Students with moderate-to-severe depression, anxiety, or behavioral challenges are much more likely to miss school, fail classes, or drop out entirely.
In North Texas, 17% of children live below the poverty line, often leading to unstable home environments, food insecurity, and limited parental capacity to provide emotional or educational support.
Only 23% of North Texas families attend religious services weekly.
