The Poised Pathways Program
The Poised Pathways Program
The Poised Pathways Program is for youth ages 15+
The Poised Pathways Program is a 9-month experience that gives teens exposure to college life, career options, and the many directions they can take after high school. Each week, participants visit a new campus, workplace, or community space where they meet professionals, students, and mentors who share their stories and advice.
The program helps teens explore what is possible for them, whether that means attending college, learning a trade, starting a business, or serving their community. Along the way, they learn practical tools for communication, goal setting, time management, and everyday decision making. Sessions also include open discussions about preparing for adulthood, building healthy relationships, and understanding personal responsibility.
Participants are supported by caring mentors who guide them through the experience. At the end of the program, teens finish the program with a clearer sense of direction and the connections they need to take their next step after graduation.
