Pathways to success is intended to enhance RE-entry services for justice-involved young adults in cleveland's highest-need and most at-risk neighborhoods

Activities performed towards employment and partners will recruit, assess, and enroll at-risk and/or justice-involved young adults into specifically aligned career and educational pathways, detailed in the individual development plan (IDP) and the personal career map (PCM). Each young adult will receive 1:1 supports through a trauma-informed case manager and career coach, and a mentor with relevant lived experience. Young adults will attend career readiness training (CRT) workshops that include violence prevention and conflict resolution, as well as other leadership and life-skills training. Participants will receive wages for attending CRT, and will transition to a paid work experience that aligns with the IDP and PCM. The participant's case manager, career coach, and mentor will continue communication with the participant and provide follow-up services throughout the work experience and follow-up service period of 12 months.
