Horizons Unlimited of San Francisco, Inc. (Horizons) is a community-based organization located in San Francisco’s beloved Mission District and offers culturally and linguistically competent services, in English and Spanish, for the diverse population of the Mission District and the City and County of San Francisco. Since 1965, Horizons has had the honor and privilege to serve as a major access point for more than 250,000 native, immigrant, and newcomer youth and their families.
We believe that youth are vessels of strength and resiliency, and the relationships we build and foster with our youth is the single, most important asset and factor in preparing them to reach their highest potential and becoming active contributors to their families and communities.
Our work and experience has shown that many Latino youth and other youth of color face multiple and persistent challenges to socio-economic success, and physical and emotional well-being. Therefore, it is imperative that services and supports take a wrap-around approach with youth and their families at the center.
We achieve this by offering a wide array of culturally competent and innovative substance abuse prevention and treatment, mental health, gender-specific and employment services and programs that promote healthy development and empower youth and families to take action in their community. Our Staff Family mirrors the backgrounds and life experiences of those we serve, and through the provision of a variety of high appeal programs, helps to transform their lives.
For five decades we have worked with more than 250,000 youth and families who have gone on to lead healthy lives, become professionals in a multitude of industries, and continue to give back to the community.
1) Community: the availability of drugs and weapons, low attachment to traditional institutions, disassociation from cultural values and customs, extreme poverty, etc., 2) Family: multi-generational involvement in crime, substance abuse, domestic violence, school dropouts, and family conflict, etc., 3) School: failure and lack of attachment to school, truancy, suspension and expulsion, 4) Peers: association with peers who have similar risk behaviors, withdrawal from conventional social norms, etc.
Additionally, many of our youth and their families have been displaced and living in crowded and unhealthy conditions, living in single-parent households or with extended family, recently arrived and living on their own, “couch hopping,” homeless, living in group homes, in and out of foster care, etc.
Many of our immigrant and undocumented youth have just recently reunited with their parents after being separated for many years, due to social, political, or economic difficulties in their respective countries, and are facing unprecedented challenges with reunification.
