Not Another Statistic™ Youth Leadership Academy
A 28-week school-based leadership development program that blends academic support, emotional wellness, identity development, and civic engagement. Students learn how to master their mindset, improve academic performance, strengthen their confidence, and develop the discipline needed to lead in their schools and communities. The program combines mentorship, social-emotional learning, leadership training, and real-world application so youth can rise with purpose and become changemakers.
Family Empowerment Lab
The Family Empowerment Lab is an eight-week experience designed to support parents and caregivers in strengthening communication, reducing stress, and deepening family connection. This is not just another parenting class; it builds on the wisdom families already have, offering practical tools and a supportive community to help them enhance what is already working at home.
Restorative Classrooms: Educator Training & School Climate Initiative
A professional development series for teachers, counselors, and administrators focused on restorative practices, culturally responsive teaching, trauma-informed support, and community-building strategies. This program helps schools reduce disproportionate discipline, strengthen student–teacher relationships, and create learning environments where all students feel understood, valued, and supported. Schools receive coaching, workshops, and implementation support tailored to their community needs.
Voices for Impact Academy
A civic leadership initiative that teaches youth how to advocate, organize, and use their voice to influence change. Inspired by leadership models, this program introduces public speaking, collaborative problem-solving, community research, and engagement with local government and community organizations. Youth participate in hands-on projects that build confidence, civic awareness, and real-world leadership experience.
Beyond the Valley: Enrichment & Exposure Experiences
A program that expands students’ horizons through leadership camps, college tours, cultural trips, community projects, and specialized enrichment opportunities. Youth experience new environments, build confidence, and discover pathways for their academic, personal, and career futures. These experiences help students imagine what is possible and motivate them to pursue higher goals.
Community Support & Housing Advocacy
A support initiative that assists families facing crisis or instability through resource navigation, clothing stipends, housing referrals, and partnership-based support services. The program also advocates for equitable housing policies in Santa Clarita and Los Angeles County, helping families stabilize so youth can focus on learning, growth, and long-term success.
Startup Academy: Youth Enterprise & Financial Futures Initiative
Youth collaborate with local entrepreneurs and small business owners who share real-world lessons and provide mentorship. Through workshops, team challenges, and creative projects, students build confidence, resourcefulness, and the mindset needed to become innovators and leaders in their community.
About us
Our story and purpose
One Horizon Foundation was built to break the cycle. We saw young people in Santa Clarita and Los Angeles County facing barriers that had nothing to do with their potential, and everything to do with the systems around them.
Our Impact
When young people find their voice and adults believe in them, everything changes. OHF creates the conditions for that belief to take root and grow.
Youth Gain Confidence
They learn to speak up and lead in their schools and communities.
Families Strengthen
Parents and young people reconnect around shared purpose and understanding.
Communities Shift
When youth lead, systems begin to listen and change.
Youth and families transform through our work
Our work spans schools and communities
One Horizon Foundation has built partnerships across Santa Clarita and Los Angeles County, working with schools, government agencies, and community organizations to create lasting opportunity for young people and their families.
