Make a difference & become a youth mentor through New Pathways for Youth. In addition to matching youth who come from extreme poverty and significant adversity with caring and supportive adult mentors, New Pathways for Youth also supports youth and mentors with resources and all kinds of personal and social development opportunities.

We are matching youth and mentors in NOVEMBER, and we're in need of some caring, stable and nurturing adults! The program is evidence based and rooted in research, and you'll feel confident and supported even if you don't have any specific experience with youth or cultures of poverty.

If you are inspired, curious and would like to know more, please attend a Mentor Introduction session by October 25 th. They are held multiple times a week on Zoom. You can see all the dates and RSVP here: https://npfy.as.me/Mentor-Intro

About New Pathways for Youth

Location:

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.
