New Horizons Foundation-USA

New Horizons Foundation-USA (NHF-USA) is a 501(c)3 corporation established and registered in the state of Iowa. NHF-USA exists to support the work of the New Horizons Foundation of Lupeni, Romania. An additional focus of work for NHF-USA has been addressing critical needs in Ukraine due to the war. Work and connection in Romania and Moldova continues. Involvement in Ukraine will also continue to be front and center, as appropriate. 

Please Note:

Specific to the projects currently underway to support the people of Ukraine is the Ray of Life solar light project. The Ray of Life is a small, self-contained solar light unit specifically designed to function in areas where electricity is not accessible. Many parts of Eastern Ukraine, especially the small villages, are without power.

The mission of New Horizons Foundation in Romania is to promote top quality experiential education models that advance life skills among youth as a means for sustainable development. The Foundation envisions a world where all young people are empowered to act on behalf of the common good. 
New Horizons Foundation has created multiple innovative non-formal educational programs for youth: the VIATA Program (an adventure education program consisting of an annual summer youth camps in Straja resort), the IMPACT Program (a national network of Community Initiative Clubs for Youth), and under the management of Orthopraxis, the IMPACT Credo program; our collaborative partnership with the Romanian Orthodox Church. The working methods of NHF programs include service-learning, Samaritan strategy and adventure education. In 2006, New Horizons Foundation received the diploma of excellence from the National Authority for Youth in recognition of the IMPACT program’s merits.
