Programs Offered
Our Tutoring Program
Learning is easier when you have an excellent tutor. That’s why ours are experts in their fields. Pathways recruit excellent staff and volunteer tutors that have a background in a variety of subjects to help accommodate every student in their high school studies. Pathways volunteer tutors are passionate about the subjects they teach and bring this enthusiasm into their sessions, building relationships along the way.
Mentor, Leadership and Cultural Program
These focus on identity, purpose, and belonging to help our students rise up and succeed!
Pathways have hard working SPSWs that follow the students through their high school career to ensure they are on track for graduating. They offer support where needed and create student-specific plans when necessary.
Pathways ensure that high school students have a safe place to find their footing in their academic careers. By building meaningful relationships with staff, as well as have a safe, comfortable space they can better converse with their peers to share similar experiences with people that have lives through it firsthand. Pathways promotes the Four Foundations of Learning (Belonging, Well-Being, Expression and Engagement.)
Cultural programming is offered weekly, for students to be able to tap into Indigenous culture to hear personal experiences and receive teachings from Elders and Knowledge Keepers. As well, as offering hands on activities to keep students engaged in a fun, creative way!
Financial Support and Advocacy
Pathways offers regular incentives to registered students, which is attendance based, to help them get through their day-to-day life. As well as reward our students for their success in program!
Pathways is continuously evolving. Youth have a major influence as to the types of activities, crafts, teachings, feasts, and outings that are implemented.
Scholarship
Upon successful completion of each academic year, a contribution is made to their scholarship account. Information regarding eligibility for a scholarship is available from the staff at Pathways.
