🌟 Summer Pathways Finale: Built on Experience, Focused on the Future 🌟

As we wrap up our Summer Pathway Spotlight series, we’re taking a moment to reflect on the powerful impact our programs have made—and the exciting journey ahead.

Last summer, our STNA pathway gave students real-world, hands-on healthcare experience during clinicals. Participants supported residents with daily care, assisted with essential tasks, and gained valuable exposure to the medical field—all while strengthening responsibility, professionalism, and compassion. 💙

These experiences are more than just training—they’re stepping stones toward meaningful careers.

As Lead The Way prepares for another impactful season of R2E and WEX programming, we are excited to continue empowering our youth alongside our incredible partners and community supporters. Together, we are creating pathways that inspire growth, build confidence, and open doors. 🚀

📣 Stay tuned all summer long as we share highlights, student success stories, and behind-the-scenes moments from our 2026 pathways!

🩺 Summer Pathway Spotlight: Phlebotomy

In past summers, students have gained hands-on healthcare experience—from performing live blood draws to learning essential patient care skills like hydration, nutrition, and elderly development. They’ve also built confidence, professionalism, and a strong foundation for future careers in healthcare.

🌟 This year, we’re building on that impact with even more real-world training, leadership opportunities, and milestone experiences—including clinical placements, certification prep, and advanced skill-building.

👏 From standout student achievements to career-ready skills, this pathway continues to prepare the next generation of healthcare professionals. Thank you to community partner VIP Medical Academy for leading the way through this pathway for our students.

🌞✨ Summer Programming Spotlight ✨🌞

Last summer, our Electrical pathway set the stage for success—combining hands-on training, leadership development, and financial literacy to prepare students for real-world careers.

🔌 From orientation and industry trainings to pre-apprenticeships with Independent Electrical Contractors, participants gained the skills and confidence to take their next steps.

🚀 As we gear up for Summer 2026, we’re building on that momentum—creating even more opportunities for youth to explore, learn, and lead. Thank you to our partners at IEC Central Ohio for once again, guiding our youth to success through this excellent programming. Stay tuned!
