Pathways/Senderos Center
The Pathways/Senderos Center, a program of Greater New Britain Teen Pregnancy Prevention, Inc., in New Britain, CT, is a successfully evaluated program that serves boys and girls, ages 10-18, from the inner city poverty-stricken, high-risk Arch Street area. Our mission is to eliminate teen pregnancy by addressing its root causes, assuring high school graduation, and promoting adult self-sufficiency. We provide long-term, comprehensive, holistic services by creating a parallel family structure with neighborhood youth and parents. Our program model includes six integrated components: academic support; career preparation; family life and sex education; recreation/lifetime sports; health care; and self-esteem enhancement.
We are looking for volunteers to perform such diverse duties as fundraising, grant-writing, advocacy, and assisting with special events. We are also looking for volunteers to work directly with our youngsters: mentoring; tutoring in such areas as reading, math, and science; and leading groups in such activities as arts & crafts, cooking, investment clubs, graphic design, etc. The most important qualification we have for our volunteers is that they are caring and passionate individuals.
