Greetings!
From a scrappy startup for kids in 2011, Eastside Pathways has grown to be a sustaining partnership of nearly 70 public, private, and nonprofit organizations committed to collectively improving cradle to career outcomes for all children and youth on the Eastside.
While the work has not been easy, our collective efforts throughout the journey have resulted in numerous rewards. Different organizations have built new and deep relationships which is central to systems change; we’ve rallied when we’ve seen community-wide injustice that required collective response; and most importantly, individual organizations have shifted the way they work including the modification of policies, practices, and procedures to create better pathways for children and youth as they traverse their developmental journey to adulthood.
On behalf of the staff and board of Eastside Pathways, we’re pleased to share with you our most recent report,
Eastside Pathways Community Report 2019. The report helps shed a light on how children and youth are doing in our community. Are children ready to enter kindergarten? How many youth complete a post-secondary degree after graduating from high school? What are the current demographic profiles of the Lake Washington and Bellevue School Districts?
We hope you’ll take the time to learn more about the community to which we’re deeply committed by perusing the
report and clicking through the
data dashboards. If you’re already a partner, we hope you’ll be inspired to dig more deeply into the work. If you’re not a partner yet we hope you consider joining us on our journey. With so many partner organizations working together better to support children and youth, there is plenty to do. Come on and join us!
Sincerely,
