Horizons is a work experience program for youth who encounter barriers to employment. Participants complete three weeks of skills training and certifications, followed by weekly classes and workshops held one day per week for the remaining 32 weeks of the program. During training and classes, participants receive a stipend equivalent to minimum wage.
The goal of Horizons is to help young adults find meaningful employment. Horizons staff guide participants to find a work placement and offer support all along the way.
