Founded in February 2023, Mon Pathways to Success strives to provide a transparent, sustainable, and comprehensive program to empower individuals experiencing homelessness, recovery, or those who have difficulty re-entering the workforce. In addition to providing free transportation and a meal for program participants each shift, the delivery of monthly professional development workshops, career counseling, mentorship, and experiential education are available to encourage personal and career growth.

In addition to the educational curriculum, participants engaged in enriching discussions with representatives from WV Jobs and Hope, gaining valuable insights into regional support.
