Pathways Voices

Stories of impact from across the Pathways network

Vaksan, Pathways alum

If I didn’t have access to these supports, I would have felt very lost. I am forever thankful to my support worker for his guidance and encouragement.

Queenisha, Pathways alum

Many times, Pathways was that anchor for me—it was a home away from home.

Say Pa, Pathways staff

Pathways is my family—they’ve given so much to me that I want to give back. I want to give students the same feeling of belonging I received.

Petra, Pathways staff

By honouring each student’s goals and where they see their life going, we can make that difference.
