New Pathways for Youth is a local organization that serves youth who come from challenging backgrounds. They live in poverty and face adversities that range from abuse, neglect, incarcerated relatives, to violence and substance abuse in the home. Our mission is to transform the lives of youth by providing the support, stability, and skills they need to flourish.
Our program is comprehensive and transformative, and it depends on caring and stable adult volunteers who are committed to 1:1 mentoring. Our next matching event is in JUNE, and we need volunteer mentors immediately.
If you're ready to make a difference, don't delay! Sign up for the information session NOW.

Mission Statement
Transforming the lives of youth by providing the support, stability, and skills they need to flourish in the community and in their families.
Description
In the communities we serve, young people experience poverty and 3 times the adversity of their peers. Beyond the instability and insecurity that makes it difficult to meet their most basic needs, these youth experience social, emotional, and cognitive obstacles that bar them from living the joyful, purposeful life that every young person deserves.
We are changing that. We are building a future where every young person can live their life with joy and purpose, confident in their ability to decide their own path.
To make it happen, we provide 1:1 mentoring with a dedicated adult and a proven program for personal growth, including tailored goal setting and connection to vital resources, all within a supportive peer group. In doing so, we're transforming the lives of youth by providing the support, stability, and skills they and their families need to flourish.
Our holistic, research-based program is proven to generate remarkable outcomes for the youth we serve - from improved mental health and personal wellness to academic success and greater high school graduation rates. We give them the tools and resources to not only achieve safe, healthy lives, but find fulfilling career paths, seize new opportunities, and enhance their relationships with their families, peers, and all those around them.
When our youth experience the support and personal development that our program offers, they feel unstoppable - and that spirit extends beyond the self to impact their family, community, and the world around them.
