The Pathways System is a 30-week program that is designed to move single moms and former foster youth who are “getting by” but remain vulnerable (or “At Risk”) to a more secure, stable and self sufficient state. This programming includes life coaching, career readiness, adult education, financial literacy, and preparation for home ownership.

We know that our mission to significantly disrupt the poverty rate in Indiana can only succeed with rigorous evaluations, so we prioritize evidence-based outcomes.
