Horizon Outreach

Horizon Outreach's mission is "Giving Everyone A New Start". We accomplish this mission by providing programs that decrease the effects of challenging life situations on the family.We serve military, non/military families including at risk youth. Our programs provide key resources that: increase self-sufficiency, employability in career positions, workforce development/certifications, access to permanent affordable housing and overall health and wellness of the family. Our services have proven beneficial to the community as evidenced by the 4,500 plus individuals & families (this number includes 1,700 military families) Horizon Outreach has connected to resources and services since being founded since 2010. As discussed, Horizon Outreach has 5 programs. The program that I would like to highlight, is the Horizon Eagle Fatherhood Program. This program was designed to help military and non-military fathers be better dads. Over 1,064 fathers have completed the Horizon Eagle Program. Each father gained skills to improve their relationships, parenting skills and employment skills. With our new grant we will be assisting young teen fathers to find employment and to gain parenting skills. In addition, Horizon Outreach provides case management to assist fathers and families with housing, rental/utility assistance, employment, and other needs. Horizon Outreach also pays for Forklift Training, TWIC (transportation worker’s identification card) Cards and CDL (Commercial Driver’s Licensing/Training) for fathers as well.
