The Pathways to Education program takes a holistic approach to address the challenges students face. There are four components to the Pathways to Education program, which are tutoring, mentoring, immediate financial supports, and one-on-one support.

We support students with challenges they face individually, at school, and in the community by working together with the families, the schools, and other community-based organizations.
