PATH ACADEMY EXPERIENCE
Bringing together a statewide cohort of leaders, PATH Academy creates a vibrant community of leaders prepared to transform organizations, industries, and the world.
Building on our PATH for All, diversity, equity and inclusion plan, we are taking steps toward discovering how racial inequity causes homelessness and how PATH and PATH Ventures can further its mission to end homelessness.
A state-wide community of peers, learning a diverse set of perspectives on leadership, networking, and support.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM OUR FELLOWS
The first PATH Academy year-long cohort launched in August 2021 after a selection committee comprised of one board member, one leadership staff and a consultant group, Racial Equity Partners, narrowed down the applicant list to 25. The first meeting in August set the structure for learning and sharing together as the fellows shared their history and their ambitions for shaping the future of the academy.
In September, our board mentors joined the fellows, and shared why they became involved in ending homelessness and how critical the board of directors are to meeting the organization’s mission to end homelessness for individuals, families and communities. In breakout sessions, board mentors met their mentees and began the foundation for a long-term supportive relationship.
In October, the academy fellows came together in person for a training on media and oral presentations and then the fellows met in their mentorship pods to reflect on the training and plan for future sessions.
For November, the fellows will be receiving an overview of PATH’s public policy work and learn how to be successful advocates at the local, state and federal level. There is much more to come, and the most powerful component is how, in just three sessions, the fellows have shared the significant impact of their time together, the excitement for what is next and how quickly the PATH Academy has become the highlight of their work within the organization.
