Change a life (including your own)
Mentoring with Pathwise is meaningful, fun, and transformative.
Pathwise is Palo Alto’s only free, non-profit, after-school enrichment program for less-resourced and historically-underrepresented middle-schoolers. By mentoring students, you’ll earn service hours, make a meaningful contribution, and grow as empathetic, purposeful leaders.
Why mentor?
Impact and equity
Support a middle school student from an underserved background—have a positive impact on their life.
Skill-building and leadership
Build leadership, communication, and teaching skills through hands-on experience and regular training sessions—no tutoring background required.
Supportive community
Work side-by-side with other mentors in a welcoming classroom, guided by experienced staff and classroom directors.
