Path To Shine® - Roswell

September 12, 2018
This is the first of two visits


Path To Shine®

Path To Shine® is a unique after-school mentoring and tutoring program for at-risk and under-served children. The purpose is to encourage children to stay in school until they graduate by partnering with faith communities to provide the academic support necessary for elementary students to develop good academic skills and the self-confidence needed to find their own "path to shine."

Path to Shine was started in 2010 at St. Benedict's Episcopal Church by Executive Director Deacon Lesley-Ann Drake as part of the Mission and Outreach activities at St. Benedict's. Under her leadership  the program has grown to 15 locations throughout the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta with their longest programs been running for 7 years.

Path to Shine programs provide snacks, homework help, and enriching activities through stories and guest speakers.

This Path to Shine program, meets each Wednesday at St. David's Episcopal Church, Roswell, GA.

The Director of the program is Judith Windsor.

This program's mission is to provide the academic support necessary for elementary students to develop good academic skills and build self confidence in each student.

The program consists of the following activities:
  • Recess on the playground enjoying playtime with their mentors
  • Snacktime
  • Mindfulness, a group activity
  • Classroom work with their mentor
  • On the playground with their mentor, waiting for pick up by their parents
