• About Us
  In the PATH Program, AmeriCorps members will provide parenting education to families at risk for child abuse and neglect through an evidence based home visitation program. They will also teach parents how to support their child’s development in the home.
  
  PATH provides 20 AmeriCorps Members full time terms of service for up to 4 years. These members will learn a variety of career development skills, form relationships with professional mentors, receive a
  bi-monthly living allowance, and an education award after successful completion of service. This award can be used to pay qualified educational costs and repay student loans.
