Pathways for Students

Pathways for Students is a 501(c)(3) non-profit community-based organization. Our mission is to create pathways for at-risk youth ages 15-24 to gain early work and educational experiences through work-based and peer assisted learning that help them achieve financial security as adults. In collaboration with community partners, we focus on creating,... supporting and promoting private and public systems that create pathways for young people to develop 21st century skills, access educational opportunities, and begin careers. We believe any youth desiring to work, should have the opportunity to obtain employment that will enhance their prospects for a future career. Recognize young people as our most important asset and will never stop striving to exceed their expectations. Getting and keeping a good job requires multiple skill sets. Employability skills are those skills and attitudes that enable employees to get along with their peers, to make critical decisions, solve problems, develop respect and ultimately become strong contributors to organizational success. Pathways for Students facilities a variety of work experience education programs that participate in our Earning Academic Credit programs. We specialize in providing paid Internships, credit recovery and independent study assistance. Peer Assisted Learning is a student-to-student support network for both academic and personal development. Volunteer second-year students are trained to help students on the same course in the following year. PAL groups meet regularly to work through common problems and further develop their learning strategies.Read More
