What we do Community-focused coaching & mentorship

Helping youth find a stable path forward

Wichita Pathways for Youth connects life- and career-coaches with identified at-risk youth to create individualized plans that use the best-fit set of community resources — and identify gaps where coverage falls short.

Individualized plans

Each youth’s goals, abilities, aptitudes, and barriers shape a practical plan they can follow.

Consistent mentorship

Guidance and accountability from caring adults who show up and stay involved over time.

Resource coordination

We connect youth to education, training, counseling, and community support — and help remove friction.

Who we serve Ages 11–18

Focused support for youth who need direction

We support young people from 11–18 years of age who have been in the judicial system for misdemeanor offenses. Our goal is to provide support and development that positively impacts both their lives and our community.

How it works Simple, repeatable steps

A mentored pathway, built around the youth

  1. Identify youth through community and partner referrals.
  2. Plan with the youth: goals, aptitudes, needs, and barriers.
  3. Connect the right services and resources.
  4. Mentor consistently and adjust the plan as the youth grows.
