Executive Director

Samantha Carrell

Samantha has dedicated her career to serving children and families because she believes every child deserves the chance to experience hope, love, and the opportunity to thrive. With more than 10 years of nonprofit leadership experience, she brings not only knowledge and skill but also a deep passion for helping kids discover their God-given potential. Throughout her journey in youth-focused organizations, Samantha has seen how one caring mentor, a safe environment, and faith-filled encouragement can change the entire course of a child’s life. That belief is what drives her and why she is so excited to join the mission of New

Horizons. Samantha looks forward to partnering with our team, families, and community to continue growing the impact of New Horizons. Her heart is to lead with compassion, build strong relationships, and ensure that every child we serve knows they are valued, supported, and loved.
