Kingston Pathways to Education

The Pathways to Education program provides supports after school to help youth successfully complete high school. Based on the successful model in Regent Park, Toronto the program aims to significantly reduce the high school drop out rate and increase the chances of local youth completing post-secondary education. Following an extensive community engagement process, the Kingston, Ontario program began in September 2010 with local youth living in the catchment area entering Grade 9. This fall, we welcome students in our area who are entering Grade 9 or 10 to join the program! *Students MUST reside in the area from Raglan Road to Conacher Drive between Division and the Cataraqui River. Youth in the program may participate from grade 9 - 12, throughout their entire high school experience. The program aims to develop relationships with parents and to encourage them to take an active role in the education of their children. Program components include: * Academic: tutoring in core subjects * Social: group and career mentoring * Financial: school transportation costs, college/university fees. * Advocacy: A student-Parent Support worker to help students and parents during high school years. Kingston Pathways to Education is a part of Kingston Community Health Centres (KCHC). For more information, please contact ektas@kchc.ca
