Norwescap Pathways 2 Prosperity (P2) through education, mentoring, skill building and networking, participants, called Path Leaders, design their own pathway to sustainable self-reliance and resiliency.
A pathway which includes securing living wage employment not just a job; building savings not just paying the bills; obtaining reliable transportation not just a ride, and developing a long term solution to insufficient resources not a short term temporary fix.
P2 meets weekly providing educational curriculum for both the adults and children who participate in our Compadres program. Weekly meetings provide dinner and the opportunity to create peer support with fellow Path Leaders and networks across economic lines with volunteers.
The P2 journey is a three-phase process. Phase I begins with a motivational career and life planning curriculum where Path Leaders evaluate how poverty impacts their life and the community. Through an inventory of their personal resources, they develop individualized action plans with identified dates of completion that create financial independence and family stability.
Phase II begins with Path Leaders partnering with volunteers who assist them in putting their Prosperity Plan into action. Weekly meetings continue with comprehensive education focusing on the skills and tools needed to make their Prosperity Plan a reality.
Phase III begins as Path Leaders accomplish their goals and become mentors, committee members, and/or volunteers supporting the sustained growth of P2.
