ATX pathway project
This is a dream in the making — a Teen Resource Center to support Self-Directed, Homeschooled and Unschooled Teens in Austin in creating a pathway for their launch!
This space will have access to a variety of materials and ample time to be be in community with their peers while they dive deep into study, prep for college, learn or refine a new skill… and have access to supportive adults and an environment that is rooted in the values of Self-Directed Education and youth rights.
Currently Seeking aligned investors to build this much needed space for Austin Teens to transition into Adulthood outside of the conventional school system.
ATX Pathway Project aims at empowering Austin area teens through Self-Directed Education and Youth Rights
by providing resources, mentorship, and a supportive community to facilitate their transition into adulthood—whether through college, workforce, or adventure!
Homeschooling and Unschooling is a great way for young people to have a full childhood, to explore their interests and go on adventures. It allows families the flexibility to offer their young people time and space to grow without the confines of conventional schooling — what we notice is many of these young people head to high school as a last resort, due to a lack of options for teens who are in transition.
We are seeking a Permanent Space in Austin that is centrally located and at least 1000 Sq Ft
Our space will include:
- Co-Working & Community Space: A comfortable, safe, inclusive, and flexible space for teens to learn, create, and connect.
