Every year, thousands of Canadian students make the life-altering decision to drop out of high school. In some of the country’s most vulnerable neighbourhoods, more than 50 per cent of students do not graduate high school, taking a dramatic toll on our communities, our health and justice systems, and our economy.
Pathways to Education is helping youth in low-income communities graduate from high school and successfully transition into post-secondary education. Pathways addresses systemic barriers to education by providing leadership, expertise and a community-based program proven to lower dropout rates.
The Pathways program provides a comprehensive set of academic, financial and social supports to youth. The results of this unique program have been ground-breaking, reducing high school drop-out rates by over 70 per cent, and increasing the rate at which youth go on to college or university by as much as 300 per cent.
