Pathways to Education provides youth from our communities the resources and network of support to graduate from high school and build the foundation for a successful future whether that be post-secondary education or direct to work. Our program’s wholistic combination of academic, financial, social, and one-on-one supports is proven to remove barriers to graduation and promote positive youth development during critical high school years.
Our Program
At Pathways to Education we work with high school students to create opportunities for them to build their skills and abilities while also providing them support to overcome any challenges or barriers they are facing. Our comprehensive set of supports ensures that there is something that every youth in our program can benefit from.

Tailored Student Plans​
​
Our team of Youth Advisors work one-on-one with students to map out a tailored support plan that is focused on meeting each youth where they are and helping them to progress towards achieving their goals.
Academic Support​
​
Pathways staff work in conjunction with schools to support youth academic success. As well, our after-school tutoring program, Monday – Thursday, 3:30 – 6pm, provides high school youth with the academic support they need to succeed.

“Without Pathways, I’d definitely be failing. I come to tutoring pretty much every day it’s open. When I think about Pathways, I think of all the awesome memories and friends I’ve made.”

Pathways provides students with both short- and long-term financial supports, including grocery gift cards, bus passes, and scholarships for post-secondary education or training.
Mentorship and Social Support​
