Are you an ASU student and want to get more involved in the local community?
We need YOU to step up and make a difference in the life of a youth who needs you. Although downtown Phoenix is on its way to becoming a bustling place full of local businesses and trendy apartments, the Garfield neighborhood is one of the poorest neighborhoods in the city. Families have an average income of $7800 for a family of four. New Pathways for Youth seeks to address these needs through a transformative mentorship program for youth in this neighborhood.
Our evidence-based training and curriculum ensures that this is an effective 1-on-1 relationship for the youth and the mentor. The results are pretty extraordinary - after participating in our program, 75% of our youth pursue post-secondary education! As an ASU student, you can inspire these youth to pursue college, too.
If you’d like to learn more about how to get involved, please contact Emily Chung at echung@npfy.org.

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.
