Project N.O.A.H.

Project N.O.A.H. is our entry program, designed to help teen parents, who are graduates of Pathways Academy in Detroit, to further their education by removing barriers that may prevent them from finishing college or post-secondary training.  After we help teen parents enroll in a post-secondary program, we provide mentorship, tutoring, a study hall, transportation, case management, financial literacy, and other supportive services that will help them be successful inside and outside of the classroom.

While they are in class, the participants’ young children will be enrolled in high quality early childhood development programs on site so they will achieve and/or exceed standard psychological and academic developmental benchmarks for their age group. Our goal is to decrease poverty two generations at a time and for this model to be replicated across the United States.

Summer Bridge Program

Sponsored by:

Trane Logo.png

As a bridge from high school to a skilled trades program, we have partnered with Trane Technologies to help 10-12 graduates of the Pathways Academy graduating class every summer.  Our objectives for this partnership would be to first, spark the interest of our participants in the skilled trades arena and then prepare them for their first accredited class in the Maintenance Mechanical Associates Degree Program. The scope and sequence will be as follows for the cohort:

  • Participate in a Virtual Career Fair and Mentorship Program with Trane Staff Members. This will open the minds of the teen moms to pursue a career in the skilled trades and to show that it is possible for them to succeed.

  • Meet at the Redeem Detroit facility once a week to receive training that is aligned to the Maintenance Mechanical Trades Curriculum and an Apprenticeship Program.

  • Learn how to use your skills for Financial Empowerment

 

While teen moms are in class, their children will receive a quality daycare experience that will strengthen the following childhood psychological developmental stages:

  • Cognitive Development

  • Social and Emotional Development

  • Speech and Language Development

  • Fine Motor Skill Development

  • Gross Motor Skill Development


Our measurements of success is that 80% who finish the Trane Summer Bridge program will enroll into a full time skilled trades school or program and eventually earn their license and enter into the workforce as technicians and even become employees of Trane.
