VIPS Pathways Program
The Pathways Program is a partnership between Falmouth VIPS, the Falmouth Public Schools, and the community.
The program supports and empowers middle and high school youth in Falmouth who are feeling disconnected and disengaged at school through mentorship, field trips, community building, career and college exploration, and academic support.
HOW YOU CAN HELP:
- Be a Pathways Mentor: attend after-school meetings, build relationships with youth, help nurture skills and interests, join field trips, serve as a role model
- Be a Career Coach: are you passionate about sharing your career with young people? Can you host students at your work site? Do you work in a high demand field on Cape Cod? Please consider attending a job fair, sharing your story with Pathways students, or serving on a career panel!
- Be an Academic Tutor or Coach: use your subject knowledge or organizational/time management skills with students! Help them prioritize and complete assignments, review course content, develop strong study habits
- Be a Program Donor: help support field trips, transportation, tuition/course scholarships, snacks, and supplies.

This year, Pathways Program students at both Lawrence School (grades 7&8) and Falmouth High School (grades 9&10) have participated in field trips, career panels, community service experiences, in-school and after-school academic support, and social emotional learning lessons. This spring, students will have opportunities to explore careers, visit a college campus, and meet community members from many different backgrounds.
