New Pathways for Youth has several strengths as an organization. They are fantastic communicators, provide great leadership and leadership resources, mentorship, project planning, resourceful, and they have a fantastic organizational culture. As far as communication goes, they make sure that you and your youth have all of the necessary resources to grow together. In addition, they host a introduction between you and the youth's family and initiate the ice breaker. They also make arrangements for goodbye's, when the time comes. This organization has an endless amount of leaders within the organization. They hold monthly workshops for you and your youth to attend, which teach you new skills and better communication techniques.
Their organization specializes in mentorship, and they conduct an interview with all of their mentors. I think that this part is extremely important, because they care about the caliber of people that are around their youth. They are excellent project planners, and they hold camps each year for both the youth and mentor. I got the chance to attend this year's camp and it was awesome! They are extremely resourceful and network with other organizations to enhance their mission. Lastly, their organizational culture is exceptional. All of their employees are former volunteers in different capacities. They promote diversity in their organization, and they are extremely open to different cultural norms. I can honestly say that everyone in their organization believes in the mission. One thing that I think they could add to their organization is a youth mentoring program (where their older youth can mentor some of the younger kids). However, this would have to be started in the school setting, as the mentors must be able to drive.
