College students with HGFA Founders

Leadership

Horizons GFA is a unique community of 300+ Bridgeport students from PreK–college and their families, plus faculty, staff, interns, and volunteers. Horizons is extremely fortunate to be a part of the GFA community and share its mission and values. GFA’s leadership, commitment, vision, and in-kind support make our success possible. 

2024-2025 Board of Directors

The Horizons GFA Board of Directors is comprised of talented volunteers passionate about improving the educational trajectory of Bridgeport public school students. Our board includes members of the GFA, Fairfield County, and Bridgeport communities, and exemplifies the intersection of all key stakeholders in our area. Our board members come from a variety of backgrounds, including education, finance, parents of Horizons students, parents of GFA students, our founders, and long-standing supporters. Racial diversity on our Board of Directors has grown from 4% in 2018 to 29% in 2023. Representation of community voice is a top priority as we consider new Board applicants.
