Pathways Tutoring & Enrichment Center
Our Mission:
To tutor, mentor, and be a friend for the school aged children that are residing at the Pathways homeless shelter. As tutors, we will help each school aged child gain the skills they need to succeed. We will be accessible to all, and will not discriminate against any person. We will be available and serve as a resource for each child. We will be courteous and personable to all parents, and acknowledge their requests.
Background:
Pathways is run by the Greensboro Urban Ministry, which is a faith based organization. Homeless Shelter for 16 families. Transitional housing. Some move to the Partnership Village. Group of Guilford students concerned about homelessness, and formed a group called Homelessness Awareness. They went to Pathways every Friday to play with the kids. They soon realized there was more of a need and especially with academics. They began going every day of the week, 9 years ago.
What We Do:
We tutor Monday-Thursday and meet at 6:30 PM outside of Founders by the ATM.
Friday we meet at 4:00 PM outside of Founders by the ATM.
Please Volunteer at least once a week or once every other week. Structure and dependability are very important in a child's life. Always call the Project Coordinator or the leader for your night if you are unable to attend. The kids really depend on you to be there!
