Pathways to Education is closing the "achievement gap" between the haves and the have-nots by lowering high school dropout rates of at-risk youth and preparing them for post-secondary education and meaningful employment. By investing in our most vulnerable youth - and the communities they come from - we are reducing the harmful effects of poverty and preparing better students, employees and citizens for the future. This will be the best return on investment any community or government can make, resulting in a healthier, more prosperous and more competitive nation.

Pathways has helped reduce high school dropout rates from a pre-Pathways rate of 56% to as low as 10% for active participants in the program. The program has also seen an increase in the number of high school graduates going on to post-secondary education of 20% to 80%.
The program is now operating in eight sites in Ontario and Quebec and preparations are being made to expand the program and its impact throughout Canada.
