Pathways to College is a game-changer

With their potential, your gift turns opportunity into achievement

Far too many youth living in under-resourced neighorhoods are overloked. Their potential and gifts may go unrecognized due to the impacts of poverty and race.During our 20 Days of Giving from April 1-20, celebrate the first 20 years of Pathways with a donation that extends life preparation to another student

FOR 20 YEARS, Pathways to College has been guiding African American and other high school students of color in economically disadvantaged communities to success in college and in life. After school hours, our caring teachers coach "Scholars" toward essential skills including critical thinking, communication, and collaboration.

While just 30% of students enter Pathways identified as "high achieving," fully 100% of our graduates earn acceptance to at least one college, and 90%* enter college.

Pathways works!

Continue this legacy of mentorship, of encouragement, and ultimately, of transformation. Please join us with your gift today during our 20 Days of Giving.

Imagine your impact:

  • Your gift of $1,000 allows us to offer 4 Scholars an engaging College and Cultural Field Trip experience.
  • Your gift of $500 gives a teacher the resources to provide 1 year of enriching activities that build community among Scholars to ensure those crucial relationships that underpin deep, lasting learning.
  • Your gift of $250 allows us to offer ongoing professional learning to build teacher capacity for SEL leadership that not only impacts our Scholars, but also supports all the young people reached by that teacher. Pathways has infused social and emotional learning (SEL) into our curriculum from our very beginnings.
  • Your gift of $100 gives Scholars the opportunity to earn annual awards that motivate their participation and hard work throughout the school year.
  • Your gift of $50 welcomes a new Scholar to our family of teachers and Scholars, who are dedicated to individual growth and development for life-long success.
