Do you have knowledge, experience, or a skill that could help a young person navigate adulthood with more confidence? 🌟

Launch Horizons is looking for facilitators!

We're building a community of educators, professionals, entrepreneurs, coaches, creators, and subject-matter experts who believe young people deserve more than academics—they deserve access to the real-world skills that prepare them for real life.

Launch Horizons serves teens and young adults ages 13–25, with learning experiences covering topics such as:
💰 Financial literacy
🏠 Adulting & independent living
📚 Reading & literacy
💼 Career readiness
🚀 Entrepreneurship
🧠 Mental health & wellness
🥗 Nutrition, cooking & healthy living
💻 Technology & digital skills
🗣️ Communication & leadership
🚗 Home and car care
❤️ Healthy relationships
…and so much more!

If you have expertise that could help the next generation launch into adulthood successfully, we'd love to meet you.

Join our Facilitator Information Session every Wednesday at 6:00 PM ET to learn about Launch Horizons, facilitator opportunities, compensation, program options, and how you can get involved.
