Our Purpose: Horizons Youth Services provides an opportunity for young people to grow and build brighter futures for themselves and their communities by focusing on the development of skills that unleash the potential in them to become productive citizens. To be productive citizens, young people must: • Understand and live by the values of honesty, respect and dependability. • Be committed to continuous self-improvement and life-long learning. • Contribute to and serve their communities. Our Commitment: We continuously create a dynamic and responsive environment that enables young people to develop the knowledge, abilities and skills that will benefit them for a lifetime. When we grow successful citizens, we better the communities in which we live.
