Youth Pathways Partnerships

The Youth Pathways program creates student focused, semester long, educationally aligned internship experiences that give students academic credit and are available during the school day. These components are critical to meet the needs of all youth, and address the access and equity issues inherent in similar models. Work-Based Education should not be only for students with robust home supports or higher socio-economic backgrounds. Research shows that low income and first generation youth especially rely on institutional supports to better their outcomes, and that economic background is especially important in the transition from education to work. By embracing the philosophy that every student needs support, we can help our high achieving youth have better outcomes in higher education with less debt, we can ensure our work bound students gain invaluable social capital and mentoring, while increasing the quality of our regional workforce.
