The Horizon club, located in Boise, is attached to Horizon Elementary School. The club and the school work hand and hand, sharing resources and a campus.
“I think it means creating safe spaces," said Horizon club director Julianna Jones. "Our youth can come to us with whatever questions or problems they may have and we’re able to give them resources and their families resources so that they can have brighter futures. And so that we can push them towards what they are meant to do."
The Horizon Club is in the middle of its summer programming. They try to have a mix of engaging and educational activities for kids to do as an alternative to sitting at home all summer.
"To help continue to educate our youth, while also giving them a fun outlet and a place where they can be safe throughout the summer," Jones told Idaho News 6.
