One of the best things about Viking Pathway is the friendships formed along the way! Our mentors go above and beyond to make sure every student feels seen, supported, and included. ☺️

We spent the day filming a Viking Pathway “day in the life” video, thanks to the ND State Council on Developmental Disabilities and KAT & Company! Stay tuned for the video this summer 😎

What would we do without our incredible mentors?! Our mentors walk alongside students, offering encouragement, friendship, and guidance throughout their college journey. Like we say at VCSU, We All Row! 🛶

We take pride in supporting our students in the 5 domains! Besides classes, Viking Pathway students do job shadows, become employed, practice living independently, socialize with peers, and stay physically & emotionally healthy. 💙

Our students are the heart of Viking Pathway. Through IPSE programs, they build confidence, explore careers, form friendships, and experience college life in meaningful ways.

One of our favorite areas to cover is independent living! Jaden has been working hard on cooking skills this year, with the help of his mentor, Paisley. This includes making a grocery list, budgeting, shopping, following directions, using appliances, and cleaning up. We are so proud of the progress he's made in the kitchen!

Leave a comment to cheer on our Viking Pathway students as they reach their goals. 👏
