The Pathways to Education Program was created by the Regent Park Community Health Centre in an effort to address poverty and other barriers that exist in the community, with a focus placed on youth in an effort to break the cycle of poverty. The program has proved to effectively reduce the drop-out rate in the communities it is working in, as well as reducing absenteeism, serious attendance problems, academically at-risk students, and increasing the graduation rate. Due to its success in Regent Park, Pathways Canada was formed, and the program has expanded to 17 communities across Canada, including Saint John in 2016. The program is accessible to two communities in Saint John: South End and Waterloo Village.

These two communities have a high percentage of vulnerable youth, as well as two of the highest dropout rates in the city. The program is open to any student living on one of the streets in the target areas. The program accepts Grade 9, 10, and 11 students, working with them throughout their high school years, and will welcome a new cohort of Grade 9’s each year. This is our third year of the program.

Volunteer Responsibilities

Tutoring is a vital component of the Pathways program, therefore, we need volunteer tutors to assist students with their homework and assignments or with study skills and review.

Tutoring will be held from Monday – Thursday 4:00-5:00 PM and a later session on Wednesday – Thursday 5:00-6:00 PM at the Teen Resource Centre (28 Richmond Street).

Pathways to Education follows the high school calendar in terms of commitment per semester. They are as follows: September-January and/ or February- June.

Training will be provided. Time commitments vary, so volunteers may choose the number of hour(s) per week that suit their schedule. We ask that the minimum would be twice a month.

Mentoring is another large component of our program, which includes various events on and off site. These sessions will be held twice a month (time and location may vary). The function of the mentoring piece is to develop positive, pro-social skills through exposure to various cultural, social and academic opportunities around the city. Volunteers are encouraged to help engage and participate in these pre-planned events.
