WHY SNOHOMISH COUNTY NEEDS THE PATHWAY PROJECT
Snohomish County is a community of resilience, but it is also a place where youth face serious barriers:
Rising Youth Homelessness: Hundreds of students are identified as unhoused each year, with limited access to stable support.
Mental Health Crisis: Local schools report surging anxiety, depression, and trauma-related struggles, often worsened by poverty or unstable family conditions.
Juvenile Justice Challenges: Snohomish County youth involved with the justice system often lack access to diversion programs that focus on healing and rehabilitation.
Educational Gaps: Disparities in graduation and achievement rates continue, particularly for low-income students and those from marginalized communities.
The Pathway Project was created to fill these gaps by providing responsive, trauma-informed support that bridges schools, families, and community resources.
To empower Snohomish County youth by creating safe, supportive pathways that strengthen resilience and unlock opportunity.
A community where every young person—regardless of their background or circumstances—has the tools, confidence, and support to thrive.
Local Partnerships: We collaborate with schools, nonprofits, and community leaders to expand impact.
Youth-Centered Design: Programs are built with young people, not just for them.
Holistic Focus: Addressing not only education but also well-being, career readiness, and advocacy.
