Student spend around 40 hours a week at school, and while the 3.5 hours they spend with us on Friday nights are undoubtedly the highlight of their week – a time to encounter God, build friendships, create memories, and grow in their faith – we recognise that truly reaching this generation means meeting them where they are: in their schools. 

Schools are where young people face challenges, discover their identity and shape their futures. By being present in these spaces, we can connect with students more effectively, understand their needs, and serve our community in a deeper and more impactful way and support student welfare.

Horizon Youth has years of extensive experience delivering customised school programs that address each school’s unique needs. We have been keynote speakers during Mental Health and Wellbeing Days, presenting Horizon Youth as a trusted resource for people to gain connection and belonging. We have received positive feedback from school executive staff members on the significant impact of our programs on their students and on cultural school issues. 

We value investing into the next generation and creating opportunities to inspire and equip young people with the hope, confidence and resilience to overcome any challenge. 

Our main schools focus is our “Breakfast Crews”. The vision of “Breakfast Crews” is to ensure that no teenagers go through a school day hungry by providing every student with free breakfast at no cost to the school or to students.

• The best part is that the free breakfast is primarily served by their fellow students that are a part of Horizon Youth.
• We conduct this program on a weekly or fortnightly basis, depending on the school’s preference or need.
• We believe this expression of uncommon love to students who are unaccustomed to such ‘random acts of kindness’, accompanied by interaction with our trained and qualified youth leaders, increases student welfare on an individual and corporate scale.
• As well as that, it teaches students to give back to their school community, and the value of living a life of service towards others.
• We have received grant funding from various organisations to fully fund this program so it is offered at no cost to the school or students.
