  Launched in 2003, Horizons is an extraordinary and truly unique non-profit that has achieved huge things for children in our own community. The program aims to educate and inspire elementary-aged students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and provides them with a wide array of academic, social and recreational opportunities. Horizons teaches children from economically disadvantaged families to thrive in spite of challenging circumstances. Our holistic, hands-on approach to learning equips students with a strong motivation to learn and the skills necessary to realize their full potential. We have a diverse group of students (African-American, Hispanic, Asian and Caucasian). The program serves potentially high achieving, but at risk, public school students in a six-week private school summer program with follow-up reinforcement programs and special events during the school year. In 2003 O.U.R. Community, Inc. formed a partnership with The Salisbury School, The Wicomico County Board of Education and Horizons National to bring the Horizons Program to Salisbury. We are one of only thirteen public/private sites that are part of this unique national program. The program began almost forty years ago in Connecticut at the New Canaan Country School. Twelve years ago it became a new national organization, Horizons National® (www.HorizonsNational.org) to replicate the model. The Horizons Advisory Board The Horizons Advisory Board is comprised of a group of dedicated community members devoted to fulfilling the mission of the program. These talented individuals, listed to the right, have given an enormous amount of effort to develop the high-quality program we are proud to offer to our students. Check back soon to see featured bios from some of our Advisory Board members! |
