Pathways For Kids

Founded in 1998 by local business leader, peter dwares, and like-minded board members, pathway'Pathways's vision is to prepare inner city Kids for both higher education and a variety of career options by involving them in career exploration activities in class, after class, in the workplace and one-on-one. Tapping their imagination, motivation, and inspiring them to explore their own paths thought the ongoing recruitment of program sponsors. Through the "out of classroom" program, Pathways brings Kids to businesses to be exposed to a work environment, to learn team building skills and advance philanthropy in the community. Participants enjoy the opportunity to give back to the Kids by sharing their own experiences. To date, Pathways' programs have served over 16,270 Kids and is significantly increasing their exposure each year.
