Get Involved
Horizons relies on numerous individuals and partners for much of our programming each year. And there are myriad ways for caring adults and community-focused businesses to support the Horizons mission. From serving on our board of directors, to volunteering in our classrooms, to hosting a job-shadowing experience for our high school students, and many other ways, we feel certain you and your colleagues will find meaningful ways to contribute.
Here are a list of opportunities and link to a Google form where we can capture your interests and then get back with you to discuss next steps.
- Volunteer to read or assist in K-8 Classrooms during the summer (1 or more times during the 5-week program)
- Share your stories of inspiration with a classroom during our "Career Exploration" blocks of about 30 minutes.
- Organize a book or supply drive at your business, church or civic organization.
- Host a Job Shadowing opportunity AKA "Micro-internship" of 2-3 days at your business for 2 or more students during the summer. This should offer hands-on learning behind the scenes where students can experience what it is like to work in that/those career/s.
