Horizon 19 Day Program, strives to create a nurturing and supportive environment that promotes participants to discover their potential and achieve their life skill goals. Our approach is multifaceted, focusing on the individual needs and aspirations of each participant. Through person-centered planning, we support participants in uncovering their interest, and introduce new life and vocational skills. This approach allows individuals to set maintainable goals. We emphasize the importance of independence and structure by teaching participants to be self-reliant in ways that are meaningful to them. This empowerment fosters confidence and self-sufficiency.

Our program is dedicated to nurturing participants’ strengths and skills. We focus on honing current abilities while also encouraging the acquisition of new skills. This dual approach ensures continuous growth and development, allowing participants to reach their full potential.

Bringing participants into the community is a vital component of our program. We support them in exploring resources and connections that may be helpful in accomplishing their goals. Our program has formed a partnership with the Antioch Food Bank, our program participants actively volunteer twice a week packaging and distributing pantry goods to 500 families in the community monthly.

We offer a variety of volunteer and occupational-vocational opportunities. These experiences not only enhance participants' skill sets but also provide a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Engaging in meaningful work allows participants to contribute to society and gain valuable experience.

We encourage participants to discover their voice is a significant aspect of our program. Primarily through the arts, we support them in better expressing their wants and needs. Artistic expression provides a powerful outlet for communication and self-discovery, empowering participants to articulate their thoughts and feelings.

We empower participants to lead healthier lives by finding what works for them through our focus on exercise and diet.

While we recognize that no one is completely independent, we emphasize creating and building relationships for support. These connections are crucial in helping participants achieve their goals, providing a network of encouragement and collaboration.
