About Us
Our Mission

Pathway advocates has formed a consortium and is working in partnership with 8 high schools in California's Motherlode Region. Our high schools are working together to create outstanding health pathway programs that allow students to seek entry level employment in health after graduation or pursue additional schooling at the junior college or university level.

Rick Damelio, HSCPA

“California needs to do a better job educating parents and students.  We need to match the interests of the learner with the choices they make. Selecting a career as well as training after graduation can begin in high school.  This could lead to better choices.  For some, it’s college,  for others it’s learning technical skills, and for some it’s an entry level job they were trained for in high school.”

Participating High Schools

We are grateful for the generous support of our partners who share our commitment to addressing healthcare professional shortages in the Northern Central Valley Region. Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of countless individuals and families.
