ORGANIZATION: Horizons Unlimited of San Francisco

  • 9 people are interested

Horizons was birthed in 1965 to serve system-involved youth of color at-risk of dropping out of high school and has since become a leader in serving this population. Current services tailored to meet their cultural, linguistic, socio-economic, educational, and re-entry needs include LifeWorks, ReSET Justice Collaborative (intensive case management), RoadMap to Peace (in-custody/substance use treatment, mental health, case management), Substance use early intervention, LevelUp (leadership), etc. Our approaches are trauma informed/healing centered, utilize indigenous practices of "circulos" and storytelling for validating youth’s narrative/experience, are rooted in liberatory practices where youth hold power and define/design/lead program systems and decision-making, and interrupt oppressive concepts of gender binary through respectful discussions, community agreements and norms of pronouns use.
