Game Changer 
Education for a Better Future  

April 25-26, 2014 
Dolce Norwalk Hotel and Conference Center
Norwalk, Connecticut  

Together we are helping to change the game for our students and their familiies.  With 38 programs in 16 states, Horizons programs from coast-to-coast are making a significant impact by closing opportunity and achievement gaps and opening up endless possiblities for low-income children.

Throughout the conference you will have a number of opportunities to shape the future of the Horizons National network as well as generate new ideas for your program.  Through a series of small group discussions and focus groups, you will share best practices and your perspective with experts in evaluation, nonprofit management, and marketing.   

We look forward to seeing leaders from Horizons programs across the country for two days of learning and sharing.
