Pathways Voices

Stories of impact from across the Pathways network

Neha, Pathways alum

There’s so much value in listening to young people and their experiences. More and more organizations are realizing it, and I’m excited to do my part in encouraging that shift.

Abdul, Pathways staff

How do we use technology more effectively? The more I focus on that, the more time staff have to focus on scaling the organization and increasing our impact.

Mars, Pathways alum

I learned a lot about my own culture at Pathways. The program incorporated Indigenous culture, like the Seven Teachings: love, respect, courage, honesty, wisdom, humility, and truth.

Tyler, Pathways staff

That’s what makes it possible for us to do good work with young people. If you have the relationships, the rest falls into place.

Thank you to our supporters

Our national impact is made possible thanks to the generous support of public and private funders across the country.
