Building A BrightPath Forward
for Every Child!
Bright Path is our new capacity building initiative of The Courageous Steps Project. It is designed to build a pathway for every child in our programs to succeed eliminating the barriers of food, hygiene, transportation, and accessible resources.
Finding
A BrightPath
Together
BrightPath aims to improve the lives of children in our programs through addressing essentials that impact their overall health. Through investing in our children, we are able to improve the quality of services meaning that the child is getting what they need to grow, thrive, and succeed in school, in the community, and at home.
At least 85% of children in our programs
live at or below the Poverty line.
