Is it important to you to connect with your community? To make a 1:1 impact on the life of a young person? To embark on your own transformative personal journey?
If so, one-one mentoring with New Pathways for Youth might be for you. Our program reaches beyond the social and recreational aspects of mentoring. The youth we serve experience poverty and four times the adversity of their peers. Together, NPFY mentors and staff guide our youth as they discover renewed outlooks on life and realize unwritten possibilities for their futures. We help youth to reach incredible outcomes that break the cycle of poverty through a holistic development program and 1:1 mentoring within community groups.
Our goal is to help 1,000 local teens to break the cycle of poverty and adversity, and we can't do it without volunteer mentors. If you are a caring and committed adult and you have the flexibility and time to dedicate to a youth for the next two years, you're invited to attend one of our weekly Mentor Introduction sessions on Zoom to learn more about NPFY, our kids and everything you need to know about mentoring with our program.

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.
