Our New Horizons Summer Academy is a programming partnership between SHIP and FCPS that provides local high schoolers experiencing housing insecurity access to learning opportunities as a pathway out of homelessness and poverty. This program provides the student a stipend and food security for a majority of their summer so that they can access core academic courses required for graduation as well as life skills workshops …without having to choose between work and school. Student breaks are filled with staff-led programming, life skills, and lots of connection to other students experiencing similar situations.

All students are supported by SHIP’s New Horizons Case Managers. These crucial members of our team work with students to access community services including medical and mental health services, economic assistance, and social emotional supports.
This summer, Summer Academy will welcome 77 students!
