Welcome to shared horizon

shared horizon supports collaborative, youth-centered change at both the organizational and systems level.
Whether launching a new program or a cross-sector initiative, we help partners co-design, implement, measure, strengthen, and sustain youth-centered strategies that drive lasting change.​​​
We work across sectors — education, workforce, child welfare, and youth development — centering equity, youth voice, and lived experience.
We support :
1
Collective Impact Initiatives
We partner with cross-sector collaboratives as coaches and strategic thought partners. Whether launching new initiatives or strengthening existing ones, we help clarify vision, align stakeholders, build shared measurement systems, and sustain momentum. Our expertise spans governance, design, data infrastructure, and mobilizing funder collectives to drive lasting impact.

Nonprofit Organizations
We support nonprofits at every stage — from strategic planning and program design to implementation, data tracking, fundraising, and continuous improvement. Whether designing a new youth-centered initiative or strengthening an existing program, we bring the tools, coaching, and capacity-building needed to maximize impact.

Philanthropic Partners
We partner with funders to design equity-driven strategies grounded in community voice—catalyzing systems change through planning, landscape assessments, and developing sustainable pathways. We bring experience launching and supporting funder collaboratives and public-private partnerships that drive measurable, lasting impact for youth and communities.
Approach & Values
We believe the how matters as much as the what.
Our work is guided by these core values:
Relationships
We build deep relationships grounded in transparency, trust, and care — knowing that real change happens at the speed of trust.
Authenticity & Humility
We show up with honesty, openness, and a readiness to deeply listen and learn. We believe humility is essential to authentic partnerships and impact.
Youth-Centered
We center youth voice, leadership, and lived experience — not just as feedback, but as drivers of strategy and systems change.
Collaboration
We believe lasting change is only possible when it’s built together. Our approach is grounded in shared ownership and bringing everyone to the table.
Equity
We strive to make programs and systems more inclusive, just, and accountable — especially to those most impacted by structural inequity.
Clarity + Action
We help partners move from vision to impact — distilling complexity, building practical strategies, and advancing real results.
