ABOUT US

Horizons Youth Enrichment
Program Inc., (HYEP) is
intentional, purposeful,
and deliberate.

HYEP is hands on interaction exposing and challenging youth and young adults with life skills that are needed to be a productive member of society.

HYEP is also pro-social, benefiting people and/or communities. Researchers have found that getting youth involved in pro-social activities, such as volunteering on a community project, or doing a group activity with other youth, reduces the likelihood that they will engage in problematic activities and behaviors.

HYEP is an approach. A positive youth development approach can be implemented across different types of programs, systems, and settings. HYEP can take on different forms and can co-exist with varied programs – an apprenticeship programs, enrichment programs, and youth employment programs.
