Growing Possibilities
We provide educational and vocational pathways for underserved communities that help our community and planet thrive.
Pathways of Purpose (POP) seeks to empower youth and the community to dream big for their lives and the world by providing asset-based, STEAM educational and vocational programs. POP will address the growing risks of climate change, social and economic inequities with movement building towards sustainable systems. Our programs foster equity, opportunity, accessibility, safety, and sovereignty for underserved communities.
