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.
