Your Path
Your Path is a FREE, voluntary, and self-driven opportunity.
Your Path is a one-on-one economic mobility program designed to help families reach meaningful, achievable goals. Participants work with a supportive Family Resource Center team member who uses proven strategies to guide families toward success. The program focuses on five key areas that affect everyday life: family stability, health and well-being, financial management, education, and employment.
Your Path is open to parents with children enrolled at Compass Early Learning Center, and it takes a whole-family approach—helping parents create solutions that make life better for the entire household. Families set goals that matter most to them, and mentors help turn those goals into real, lasting change. To celebrate progress and keep participants motivated, Your Path also provides recognition and rewards for achieving goals along the way.
Your Path Core Values
Co-Investment
We work together as partners. Coaches and participants both take action, complete “to-do” lists after meetings, and hold each other accountable.
Growth Mindset
We believe abilities can grow with effort. Challenges and mistakes are opportunities to learn and improve.
SMART Goals
We set goals that are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound, so progress is clear and achievable.
Unconditional Positive Regard
We provide support without judgment, accepting participants as they are and helping them move forward.
In Your Path, participants choose goals that make the biggest difference for their lives and their families. Goals fall into five connected areas that shape everyday well-being: family stability, health and well-being, financial management, education, and employment.
By focusing on these areas, Your Path helps families build practical skills, create lasting solutions, and make steady progress toward a stronger, more secure future. Each goal is tailored to your family’s needs and guided by your personal coach, so every step forward is meaningful and achievable.
What do Participants Work on?
Bridge Assessment Tool
The Bridge Assessment Tool helps families and economic mobility mentors see where they are at a point in time as well as create the ability to track progress over time. It looks at key areas like housing, finances, health, and employment, making it easier to set meaningful goals and celebrate growth along the way.
Recognitions
In Your Path, we celebrate both persistence and progress. Families can receive participation rewards for steady involvement over time and milestone rewards (up to $5,000 total) for achieving significant, verified goals. These recognitions honor the effort and commitment it takes to build a stronger future.
