Pathways to Education is thankful for Marner Assist Foundation’s support of Pathways students. Across Canada, the average high school dropout rate ranges from 7-13 per cent. However, in low-income communities, the average high school dropout rate can be 50 per cent or higher.
Working alongside the school system, Pathways makes a multi-year commitment to youth and their families. Through a network of staff, volunteers, and partners, the Pathways to Education Program is helping youth to overcome barriers that can stand in the way of education, delivering after-school tutoring, group and career mentoring, short- and long-term financial assistance, and one-on-one support from a staff member who encourage students and hold them accountable.
Thanks to a $20,000 gift from MAF, 20 students will be able to participate in the Pathways Program this year. Together, we’re all helping to create a future where all youth have an equal opportunity to graduate from high school and build the foundation for their future success. Thank you to MAF for your support!
