Currently we have a class on Tuesday evenings but we would love to have a class during the workday for unemployed individuals who can come while their children are in school. You get ot set the day of the week and time. :)

If you would like to volunteer as an instructor, please contact the PATH office at 903.597.4044, ext. 123.

GROWTH can only be attained once the crisis has been addressed and the family has been stabilized. PATH, in collaboration with several local social services agencies, is now offering an Education Program which includes a regular schedule of life-skills classes like literacy, computer, parenting, nutrition, money management and home-ownership.
