Together We Make
Horton’s Kids Thrive

Since 1989, Horton’s Kids has stood as a trusted partner for children and families in Southeast DC. What began as a volunteer-led effort has grown into a holistic, place-based organization, serving over 700 children and family members across our three Community Resource Centers. We’re honored to walk alongside families — connecting them to the resources, relationships, and opportunities that support educational attainment, health and wellness, and safety and belonging.

Join us and be a part of something transformative.
