All About Us


We are a 16 week lifeskills and employment project for youth ages 15 to 30 who are not working or in school.

We are located in Langford, BC but we can accept youth from all over the Victoria region including Sooke and Sidney.

The Pathway Project focuses a great deal of attention on communication skills, goal setting, team work and overcoming personal barriers which may be affecting people's ability to seek or retain employment that is personally meaningful to them. We can also be a useful program for someone who is unsure of their direction and is in need of finding their "path".
Participants are also able to obtain their Food Safe, First Aid and Super Host certificates through our program.

Their is a stipend of $8 per hour for the 8 weeks spent in the workshop setting. Most graduates are working or have returned to school by week 9. We monitor them on the job for 8 weeks to insure things are working well for them and communication is clear between the participant and the employer.

Our graduates tell us the project has boosted their confidence and helped their clarity, focus and ability to seek work effectively.
