Overview
Pathway is a grass-roots Neighborhood Networks learning center, that opened its doors to the community in September 2001.
Our communities are presented with new challenges daily. Pathway offers a positve outlet where youth, adults, and families can develop in a caring environment that provides alternatives to drugs, alcohol, criminal activity and juvenile delinquency. Programs and services engage residents in employment, life and family skills development that enriches residents' lives while bridging the "digital divide" and reducing welfare dependency.
Neighborhood Networks is one of the first federal initiatives to promote self-sufficiency and help promote computer access to low-income residents in order to bridge the "digital divide."
Our slogan for success is: "Building a Stronger Community, One Family at a Time."
