Positive Tomorrows Pathway
Our program meets families where they’re at, so everyone’s journey looks a little different. We see the most significant impacts among families who stay in our program for 1-2 years. Here’s a glimpse of the services we provide to kids and families.
Enrollment
To qualify for enrollment, a family must be living in one of the following situations: emergency shelter, transitional housing, vehicle, campground, motel, or temporarily sharing the housing of others
Education
We offer trauma-informed education with small class sizes, transportation, break camps, after-school programs, and extracurricular opportunities, all designed to remove barriers to learning.
Family Support
Simultaneously, each family has a case manager who supports them as they identify their needs and strengths in order to achieve their personal goals. Family stability is the foundation for successful engagement in school.
Healthcare & Support Services
We identify students’ needs through on-site evaluations and screenings, connecting them with resources like glasses and counseling, or with referral-based services like speech, occupational therapy, etc. By accessing these services during the school day, we remove barriers like transportation and scheduling, ensuring families can focus on stability while students get the care they need to thrive.
Housing
On average, we are able to help families secure stable housing within 4-6 months after enrollment. We provide both rapid re-housing and eviction prevention programs.
Looking Ahead
After about a year and a half of enrollment, when kids are up to speed academically and socially, and families have had stable employment, transportation, and housing for six months or more, families are introduced to our Transition Coordinator to start making a plan for what’s next.
Graduation
Each spring, we host a graduation ceremony to recognize the success of families who have completed our programs and celebrate their success together as a school community!
Continued Success Services
Students who have graduated from Positive Tomorrows are invited back to attend break camps, and parents often come back to attend peer groups, participate in our community, or provide advisory and support.
