New Horizons of North Texas is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to telling at-risk kids a different story. Over 100,000 kids in our community go home alone each day after school, and 1/3 kids in Dallas County ready below grade level by the 4th grade; far too often, trends would say that they end up becoming another negative statistic. As a result, we are on a mission to tell kids a different story through tutoring, mentoring, and faith-building. With the support of community volunteers, New Horizons' afterschool programs provide 8 hours of mentoring throughout the school year to youth from East Dallas, as well as a 4 week summer camp. New Horizons partners with local neighbors, churches, organizations, corporations, and foundations for both volunteer and financial support. Each year students receive the opportunity to age with New Horizons programming, as we expand to serve a child from elementary through high school graduation. New Horizons of North Texas was founded in 2015 as an independent affiliate of New Horizons of Southwest Florida, founded in 2003 and who now serves nearly 500 youth each year.
