The Pathways to Employment Success program provides youth with opportunities to explore future career options, as well as practice the crucial skills needed to seek employment. We work with students & staff in the local school districts (Riverview School District and Snoqualmie Valley School District) to plan activities and events that are relevant to youth’s employment development. It is our hope that youth will recognize there are many rewarding paths to success.
For us to continue to deliver a quality program we need to hear from you!

Program Offerings

– Individually Curated Workshops –
Thanks to our incredible network of community partners, we are able to channel their ideas and expertise into ultra specialized workshops for students. Based off of the research we do on career advising, mental health, and industry standards as well as the direct feedback from students on the support they specifically need, we merge local youth and professional perspectives to yield community as a path finding resource right here at home. An example of a recent workshop we facilitated in this sense was a workshop that focused on purpose exploration through concepts like Ikigai, vision boarding, and self-efficacy.
– Pathways Exploration –
Worksite Tours give students the chance to learn what a company does, observe work in progress, and hear from employees in different departments about their educational and professional pathways.
Industry Talks give students insight into the wide variety of goods, services, and career opportunities within a business.
Career Guest Speakers allow students to hear from a range of professionals share their individual stories, perspectives, experiences, and answer direct questions
We are always looking for engaging ways to provide employment exploration opportunities for our students! Check out this previous program we offered through our partnership with the Snoqualmie Valley School District and the Snoqualmie Valley Chamber of Commerce when schedules allowed for us to organize “Career Exploration Fridays” for high school students at Mt Si High School.
