What We Do
At Path to Purpose, we are dedicated to transforming the narrative around at-risk and underserved youth. Guided by the acronym E.R.A.S.E., we aim to erase the stereotypes surrounding these young individuals by equipping them with the tools and opportunities needed to thrive.
Our core values include:
Empowerment: Providing youth with resources and skills to take charge of their futures.
Resilience: Building the strength and confidence to overcome challenges.
Aspiration: Inspiring bold dreams and actionable, purpose-driven goals.
Self-Worth: Fostering a strong sense of value and self-belief in every individual.
Elevation: Uplifting youth to rise beyond their circumstances and achieve success.
Living out these values creates pathways for youth to break barriers, rewrite their stories, and discover their purpose.
How We Do It
At Path to Purpose, we bring our mission to life through programs and initiatives that empower youth to overcome barriers and thrive:
Workshops:
Project Gen-Z: Teaching goal-setting strategies to help youth create actionable plans for success.
Healthy Boundaries: Guiding teens to build healthier relationships and personal growth.
Mentorship: Connecting youth with positive role models who provide guidance and support through our Pathfinder’s Mentoring Program.
Career Development: Equipping teens with leadership, financial literacy, and career readiness skills through our Future Works initiative.
Community Engagement: Involving youth in service projects that build character, teamwork, and a sense of responsibility.
Literacy Program: The Read to Succeed literacy program is designed to empower youth to develop essential reading skills, improve literacy rates, and foster a lifelong love for learning.
Why We Do It
We believe every young person deserves the chance to thrive, no matter their circumstances. At Path to Purpose, we see the potential in every child and are driven to erase the stereotypes that hold at-risk and underserved youth back. By creating opportunities for growth, empowerment, and self-discovery, we aim to help them rewrite their stories and build brighter futures filled with purpose and possibility.
We Can’t Do This Alone – We Need You
