Youth Enrichment Program
Our Pathways to Purpose Youth Enrichment Program is designed to empower middle and high school students by preparing them for life beyond the classroom. We provide opportunities and experiences that help youth explore their potential, build confidence, and chart a course toward success.
Through career shadowing opportunities, students gain first-hand exposure to different professions, allowing them to envision possibilities for their future. Our college tours open doors to higher education by inspiring students to pursue academic and career pathways with confidence. With the guidance of dedicated mentors, youth receive personalized support, encouragement, and real-world advice to help them navigate challenges and reach their goals.
We also host scholarship workshops to equip students with the knowledge and resources they need to access financial aid and higher education opportunities. While bilingual support is limited, we remain committed to ensuring inclusivity and accessibility for students and families within our community.
Though we no longer provide tutoring or IB/AP testing assistance, our program continues to focus on equipping youth with experiences and skills that will prepare them for success in education, careers, and life.
