Welcome to New Horizons Family Center official
website. Thank you for taking time to learn about our
agency. New Horizons Family Center was born of a
dream - that every child deserves a safe and nurturing
childhood and an opportunity to become a
responsible, contributing member of the community.
At New Horizons, our mission is to foster the healthy
development of children and families through
domestic-violence and child-abuse prevention and
interventions that address developmental, academic,
social-emotional, and mental-health needs. Since its
founding in 1994, the center has grown tremendously,
serving children ages 6 weeks to 17 years of age and
their families at two remarkable facilities: The Youth
Recreation Center and the Mental Health Center.
Services include an after school program for at-risk
youth, sports, counseling, family literacy and ESL and
parent education. Mindful of the diverse cultures we
serve, the center offers a variety of multicultural family
and community events. With demand so great for
infant and toddler childcare, plans are well underway
to construct a fourth day care and family resource
center dedicated to serving more children from
low-income families. There is also a great need to
encourage students' awareness of the impact of
education on their future success. For the last six
years, New Horizons has operated a Teen Tutoring-
Mentoring Program. A new Teen College Project will
offer an expanded range of services including
individualized guidance and goal-setting from the sixth
grade on, PSAT and SAT preparation, motivational
speakers, college campus visits, financial aid
education, application assistance, and a parent
support group for those who cannot afford private
tutoring and college-guidance services. Thank you to
all of our contributors who have generously supported
our efforts to fill critical service gaps in the community.
A special thanks to our Board of Directors and our
Advisory Board members for sharing their tireless
energy and business experience to help provide
high-quality services to residents of Glendale and
neighboring Los Angeles communities. Lastly, my
sincerest gratitude to the staff and volunteers for their
dedication for shaping children's lives. Their drive to
teach children the skills they need to achieve academic
and social success and their patience and
understanding to get them through family hardships are
truly inspirational. I am very fortunate to have such a
great team. We have accomplished so much in such a
short time, but there is so much more that needs to be
done. With your support the possibilities are endless. I
invite you to visit us and be a part of this great effort.
