ABOUT US
New Horizons was established in 2005 and represents a pathway for success in areas including job preparation, re-entry programs, and GED programs. ConocoPhillips is a primary funding agency in addition to other supporting organizations. We provide ongoing employment services, life skills development, and career-related training to Rodeo, Crockett, Tormey, Bayo Vista, Port Costa, Hercules, and surrounding communities.
New Horizons has continued to expand our client-related services, and we are working towards becoming a fully sustainable community-based organization.
We have served over 3,000 clients since 2006 with job searches, resume writing, job fairs, on-site classes, and life skills development programs.
In 2010, New Horizons was selected as a site for the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program. Our volunteers provided free income tax preparation assistance to low-income, elderly, disabled, and Limited English Speaking people. The Volunteers were trained and certified by the IRS. New Horizons’ goal is to expand and enhance our current programs and outreach services.
Executive Director Anthony A.K. Hodges has served on the Board of Directors at New Horizons since 2008 and has served as Executive Director since 2010.

Hello everyone! My name is Mutsu. I am the academic instructor at New Horizons Career and Development Center. My goal here is to guide students in preparing for their G.E.D., and help students navigate
the Penn Foster H.S.D. Program, and assist in planning for students’ academic goals.
My academic background is a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley. My teaching background comes from my desire to learn new things. I was introduced to teaching during my late teenage years through Kung Fu, a hobby I started when I was four. I am currently also a DMV-licensed driving instructor because I am one of the few in California who enjoys
driving and want more people to enjoy safe driving as well.
Academic Instructor
My current learning interests are financial markets, personal health and fitness, and cooking. I am also an avid reader. I highly encourage all of my students to read any type of literature of interest, no matter what their learning and academic goals are
