Empowering Youth and Families
Led by the Suradway Parents Association, we empower East African and immigrant youth and families to lead the fight against youth violence and gang involvement.
Pathways for Youth Empowerment
The Pathways for Youth Empowerment project is a community-driven initiative designed to address the root causes of youth violence and gang involvement. By equipping East African and immigrant youth and their families with tools, resources, and support, we aim to foster resilience, belonging, and positive decision-making.
This initiative is centered on the voices of youth and parents, recognizing their vital role in creating a safer, more empowered community. Together, we’re building a foundation for change driven by those directly impacted.
Our Approach
Our youth-centered and family-focused approach empowers those directly impacted by youth violence and gang involvement. By providing mentorship, advocacy, and collaboration opportunities, we foster a culture of resilience, belonging, and positive change.
Advocating for Systemic Change
We amplify the voices of youth and families to influence policies and practices, ensuring equitable opportunities and safe environments for all.
Youth Leadership and Engagement
We encourage young people to take charge of their future through mentorship programs, leadership development, and pro-social activities that inspire confidence and purpose.
Parental Empowerment
We provide parents with the knowledge and skills to navigate challenges, strengthen family bonds, and advocate for their children’s well-being.
Community Collaboration
Through partnerships with community leaders and organizations, we address systemic barriers and implement culturally appropriate solutions.
