Pathways to Education

A stay-in-school program designed to reduce poverty and its effects by lowering the dropout rate among high school students, from economically disadvantaged communities, and increase their participation in post-secondary programs.

Four Core Elements of Support:

  • Academic Support - tutoring, and group and career mentoring
  • Social Support - goal oriented programming that includes workshops, events, and field trips
  • Financial Support - scholarships, bus tickets/food vouchers
  • Counselling and Personal Support 

Also provides the opportunity for adults to volunteer as tutors and mentors.

Program is funded through Pathways Canada.
