HAMPTON ROADS, Va. - Low-income students are 6 times more likely to drop out of high school  and suffer more from losses in reading and math skills over the summer. Horizons Hampton Roads is an academic, cultural and recreational program working to combat that and encourage students to realize their full potential.

Executive director Dick Trowbridge and January Serda join us to share the impact of the program locally. For more information visithorizonshamptonroads.org.
