Academic Support Program
ACADEMIC SUPPORTS SERVE CHILDREN OF ALL AGES SO THEY GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL PREPARED FOR POST-SECONDARY SUCCESS. MOST CHILDREN COME TO HORTON'S KIDS SIGNIFICANTLY BEHIND, ESPECIALLY IN LITERACY AND MATH. IN COMMUNITIES LIKE THE ONES WE SERVE, THIS GAP HAS WIDENED AS THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC HAS CONTRIBUTED TO AN AVERAGE OF FIVE MONTHS OF UNFINISHED LEARNING IN LITERACY AND MATH. WE ADDRESS THE EQUITY GAP THROUGH RESEARCH-BACKED HIGH-INTENSITY TUTORING, HOMEWORK HELP, AND LITERACY INTERVENTIONS. YOUTH PROGRAMMING FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS INCLUDES CAREER EXPLORATION AND COLLEGE PREPARATION TO EQUIP THEM FOR POST-SECONDARY OPTIONS. WE ALSO WORK CLOSELY WITH CAREGIVERS TO BUILD STRONG RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THEM AND THEIR CHILDREN'S SCHOOL. IN PARTICULAR, WE HELP CONNECT FAMILIES WITH HIGH-PERFORMING SCHOOLS AND SUPPORT CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS. ALL OF THESE SUPPORTS RESULT IN TREMENDOUS OUTCOMES FOR CHILDREN: IN FACT, CHILDREN IN HORTONS KIDS ARE TWICE AS LIKELY TO GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesSep 1, 2021 – Aug 31, 2022Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$910.6KHealth and Wellness Support
