New Pathways for Youth Holds Annual Breakfast

Christy McClendon, New Pathways for Youth CEO and president, congratulates Ignacio Muniz on his scholarship to Notre Dame University.

New Pathways for Youth supporters met Feb. 28 at Phoenix Art Museum for the organization’s annual fundraising breakfast. More than 500 community leaders attended, hearing stories of transformation for the program’s youth participants. The theme for the day was #ItBeginsWithMe.

Ignacio Muniz was one of the youth sharing his story of how mentoring helped move the needle in his life. Muniz is a senior at Metro Tech High School, and he announced that he has received a full scholarship to Notre Dame University. His announcement drew a standing ovation from the audience.

New Pathways for Youth empowers youth to fulfill their potential through mentoring and life-skill development. The breakfast raised more than $300,000 to support its mentoring programs for at-risk youth.
