Pathways to Education is a national, charitable organization breaking the cycle of poverty through education. The award-winning Pathways Program creates positive social change by supporting youth living in low-income communities to overcome barriers to education, graduate from high school, and build the foundation for a successful future. Through the collective power of partnerships, our innovative program is preparing youth for tomorrow

The Pathways Program is proven to promote positive youth development by meeting the needs of youth during the critical years of high school. The program is delivered through four core areas of support:

Academic: Supports such as tutoring, homework help, digital literacy development, and language skills help students stay on track with their school work.

Financial: Students are eligible to receive targeted financial supports such as transit fare and lunch vouchers, as well as a scholarship for post-secondary education or training.

Social: Through mentoring and other social activities, students are equipped with the skills and competencies required to help them succeed beyond high school.

One-on-one: Staff and volunteers work with students to map out a tailored support plan that is focused on helping them achieve their personal, academic, and professional goals.

Pathways students and their families navigate systemic barriers every day, and high‑pressure seasons like back‑to‑school, the holidays, and exam periods can intensify financial stress and uncertainty. A gift to a Pathways Program helps provide critical supplies at these pivotal moments and empowers staff to support students with what they need to succeed, academically and beyond. Thank you for making a meaningful, lasting impact in the life of a Pathways student.
