Learning Pathways
What is the Learning Pathways Project?
The Learning Pathways Project is a city-wide effort that aspires to help youth connect skills developed during out-of-school experiences to the pursuit of a high school degree, post-secondary attainment and ultimately a livable wage.
To support the growth of the Learning Pathways Project, Big Thought is offering a 3 month Fellowship program designed to help out-of-school providers identify, measure, and elevate skills youth develop during their programs.
Who Is The Fellowship best suited for?
The Learning Pathways Fellowship is best suited for organizations that:
- Offer programming to youth ages 13 and up that includes some amount of live/synchronous instruction, either virtual or in-person.
- Require each youth in the program to produce an artifact that is a representation of their learning.
- Are invested in developing criteria and measuring the development of skills.
- Identify with at least one of the following categories:
