Operation Pathways was proud to collaborate with over 600 partner organizations, a dramatic increase from 115 partner organizations in 2015. Throughout the year, our resident services coordinators organized 4,693 events dedicated to the Operation Pathways mission of improving residents’ quality of life through the four pathways: Academic Achievement, Healthier Living, Financial Stability, and Aging in Place.

Pathway to Academic Achievement focuses on the educational needs of residents, promoting academic success and lifelong learning as a means to break the cycle of poverty. Afterschool Programs In 2017, Operation Pathways afterschool programs flourished. In addition to providing direct-service programming, Operation Pathways also partnered with organizations that design and implement programs for school-age children during the hours after school. The afterschool programs included four primary components: Home-School Connection, Homework Habits, Project-Based Learning, and One- on-One/Small Group Tutoring to improve in-school achievement, each producing measurable results and increasing academic success. In 2017 • 73% of children enrolled in Operation Pathways’ afterschool programs improved their reading performance by at least one grade level • 70% of children enrolled in Operation Pathways’ afterschool programs improved their math performance by at least one grade level
