How Communities Are Selected

Interested in bringing the Pathways Program to your community?

Partnerships are core to everything that we do at Pathways to Education, including our community engagement process.

We know that positive and successful community engagement requires that youth, families, community members, and organizations, including local schools, are a part of the process from the very beginning, and that each weighs in on whether the Pathways Program makes sense for their community.

Together with key community leaders, we develop an engagement process tailored to each community’s context and unique needs.

We also look at multiple community-based factors that help us to identify if the Pathways Program is the right solution for a community, including:

• What solutions young people want to see in the community

• What existing programs and services are already available in the community for youth

• What the data tells us about current educational attainment and barriers to youth completing high school

• Level of community readiness to take on the program
