The Pathways Youth Program provides interactive, educational enrichment activities that emphasize art, music, and literacy in an environment of cooperative learning. The program is offered Monday through Friday from 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM to children over the age of 6. During this time Resident Coordinators assist youth with their homework. After homework is completed, youth participate in a structured educational activity. These activities reinforce math, science, reading, and creative thinking while incorporating art, music, and cooking.

In the summer, hours are extended and additional programs and field trips are added. Summer programming differs from year to year because, unlike traditional summer camp where children are grouped with youngsters of the same age, ACG children work together cooperatively in groups that frequently span many ages. This experience more closely replicates the experience these children have in their home environment where siblings and neighborhood friends come from many age groups.

This program is open to the public.

Exceptions will not be made for 4th grade or below.
