Education for Transformation
For more than 15 years, we’ve been inspiring youth to lead and to produce positive changes in their communities. We believe in the transformative power of education. We offer educators, organizations, and community leaders instruments which can truly empower youth to become wiser, stronger, and kinder.

Our Programs
We are working for a better Romania. Every year, volunteers in our programs develop new and innovative ways to serve their communities. It’s how they learn. It’s their laboratory for personal development. They’re finding local solutions to local problems – solutions that lead to real community and personal change.
For Youth
We are equipping a generation of courageous, value-driven youth who are capable of changing their communities for the better.
For Educators
We are training teachers to make classroom learning meet their students’ real needs in innovative and experiential ways.
For Schools
We are facilitating, financing, and supporting schools as they develop a community-centered ethos.
For the Jiu Valley
We are developing new opportunities in Romania’s Jiu Valley through outdoor adventure education projects.
Results
Over 15,000 Romanian youth between the ages of 11 and 19 have gone through our programs, learning life lessons that can’t be taught from a book. Their experiences are challenging and empowering, and lead to learning that transforms lives.

Youth prepared for life
In 2016, Hew Horizons Foundation focused on bringing complementary educational programs and additional teacher education where it is the most needed. 23 IMPACT clubs opened in rural schools thanks to a grant from Switzerland through the Swiss Contribution to the enlarged European Union, which gives 600 more children access to education that prepares them for life.
“New Horizons Foundation is part of me, part of my soul. I am aware of how lucky I was to be part of IMPACT and VIATA! I will always appreciate these opportunities, and will remain eager to help in any way I can.”
Daria Cîmpean | IMPACT & VIATA alum
“How did IMPACT change me? IMPACT taught me almost everything I know! I became more sociable, able to not lose myself in the company of other people. I learned how to work in a team. All of this will help me throughout my life, both in the workplace and beyond.”
Ema (Panți) Vacariu | IMPACT alum
Transformational Teachers
We have equipped over 1,350 teachers to provide better contexts for learning and personal development for the students in their classrooms. These teachers are role models for children and youth. They are powerful men and women who are dedicating their time, talents, and resources to building up this generation of Romanian youth.
