We Need Your Support!
The impact you have on supporting a positive trajectory for underserved children is vast. Many lack the resources they need to get a good start and fulfill their potential in life. Contributing to Horizons at Foote ensures children will thrive in a high-quality and enriching learning environment.
Connecticut has the widest achievement gap in the nation between the academic performance of students from low-income families and their more affluent peers. Horizons is working to close this gap and ensure our students graduate from high school and attend post secondary education. 91% of Horizons graduates go on to attend college or other post-secondary training! We can’t accomplish this without your support. The need is great, and the demand is high – that’s why the Horizons network continues to thrive. Within a few years, Horizons at Foote will almost double the number of students we serve through this transformative program.
