Justice Partner – Pathwise

The Justice Partner for October is Pathwise

Pathwise is Palo Alto’s only free, non-profit, after-school enrichment program for less-resourced and historically underrepresented middle school students. They serve middle school students in the Palo Alto Unified School District, including low-income, housing insecure, first generation, foster youth, English Language Learners and students belonging to historically underrepresented racial and ethnic groups. We train high school students to mentor the middle school students.

Pathwise services are located on each middle school campus, offering social-emotional learning (SEL), academic support, and near-peer mentoring in a safe, welcoming space.  They extend that support to families through parent education, school guidance, and advocacy.
