Pathways For Kids Capital Campaign

Thank you for your past support.

Pathways For Kids was formed in 1998 as a registered California 501 (c ) (3) non –profit organization (Federal ID No. 94-3313219).  Pathways For Kids Mission is Career Day Motivational Programs and follow up Mentoring for Underserved SF Youth, with emphasis on Education, Self Marketing, Careers (Blue or White Collar), Entrepreneurism, and importantly Building Capital. (Breaking Cycle of Poverty).

Many of our kids have no idea what opportunities exist, and if they do, don’t believe they have a chance to achieve them.  Pathways wants to change that planting a seed for growth toward these kids having a chance to realize their dreams.

To that end Pathways coordinates a pool of more than two hundred volunteer mentors (“Coaches”), and growing, from a variety of different disciplines and ethnicities.  Every coach brings along a new potential affiliation and resource to the students.  To date, Pathway’s Coaches in the Classroom, Career Fairs, and Coaches In The Workplace programs have served approximately 10,000 San Francisco youth.  Last year alone, we served 1,000 students in eight schools within the San Francisco Unified School District.

 Pathways has been supported by organizations like May and Stanley Smith Trust, US Bank, JP Morgan Chase, Forty Niners Foundation, Guggenhime Foundation, The Gap Foundation and the San Francisco Foundation as well as many individual  givers.  Mayor Gavin Newsom is one of our founding Directors and former Mayor Frank Jordan a Coach. The City and County of San Francisco has recognized Pathways For Kids for our work.

We are providing opportunities for supporters to help us raise $200,000 dollars to support our programs.  These funds would be utilized for program management, volunteer (“Coach”) recruitment and program supervision resulting in additional services being brought to thousands of youth.

Thank you very much for your considering our request!

Please do not hesitate to contact me (415) 986-5885 if you have any questions or need any additional information. 

Sincerely,

Peter Dwares
