Pathways for Youth

One-on-One Mentoring

Pathways offers customized one-on-one mentorship and quarterly group outings for youth ages 5-18, whose families are affected by cancer.

Mentorship programs are created through a collaborative effort between the program manager, mentor, and the youth’s family and focus on the emotional, social, and educational circumstances unique to each youth. Our program teaches these youth healthy communication, self-advocacy, and resilience-building skills so they can become confident navigators of their unique challenges.

At the heart of our program are dedicated volunteers that serve as mentors for these youth. If you’re interested in getting involved, download and submit your volunteer application below.
