Directions Website Contact the organization

On the Right Path On The Right Path was founded with the desire to assist individuals and families change their way of living in a positive aspect.

Our mentorship program is offered to youth and adults. In 2017, On The Right Path was founded by Artemus McFarland as a non-profit organization. The foundation was established with the desire to help others, particularly youth and adults that are in some way affected by the criminal justice system, whether facing adjudication, or reentering society after incarceration.

This started with one man who believed nobody should have to change alone. That is still the whole idea. Whatever you're carrying, whatever you've done, there is a hand here and a way forward. ontherightpathnola.com.

Roughly 16.2% of Louisiana children live in a home without steady access to enough food. Hunger is not a character flaw. It is a gap we can fill, plate by plate. When a child is fed, everything else gets easier, learning, growing, hoping. Together we can. ontherightpathnola.com

In Rhode Island, about 55% of people released from prison stay out for at least three years. More than half make it. Every number on this map is a person, a family, a homecoming. Most people make it. Our whole job is to help even more of them do it. Together we can.

In the South Bronx, a community violence-interruption program cut gun shooting victimization by nearly two-thirds. Neighbors trained to defuse conflict, block by block. This is prevention that works, led by the community itself. New Orleans can do this too. Together we can.

In Vermont, about 58% of people released from prison stay out for at least three years. More than half make it, even where the road is hardest. Most people make it. That's not luck. That's people choosing a new course and neighbors helping them keep it.

There is no big foundation behind us. Just neighbors who give an evening, a skill, a little money, a warm handoff to somebody who can help. If that sounds like you, there is a place for you here. ontherightpathnola.com.

People aged 13 to 24 account for a large share of new HIV diagnoses, yet they have the lowest PrEP use of any age group. The tools to prevent HIV already exist. Young people just need to know about them. Education closes that gap. Get informed. Together we can.

In New Hampshire, nearly 6 in 10 people released from prison stay out for at least three years. More than half make it. And here's the thing about a number like that. It's not fixed. Support, work, and a little patience move it in the right direction.

Somewhere along the way we got told that backing down means you're weak. It doesn't. The strongest thing a young person can do is choose a future over a moment. We help them see that choice clearly. ontherightpathnola.com.
