 | BWIL Engage Service Project with Pathways
Join Bloomington Women in Leadership for our 2025 Engage service project as we support the incredible work being done at Pathways on Friday, June 13th! Participants will help staff at Pathways complete much-needed deep-cleaning and organization projects, outdoor painting projects, outdoor landscaping and maintenance projects, and sound panel installation projects. Two-hour shifts are available, please select morning and/or afternoon when registering.
Pathways empowers families to significantly improve their economic circumstances and break the cycle of poverty by providing a powerful combination of direct material assistance for the household, affordable & high-quality early learning for children ages 1-5 years old, and individualized economic mobility services that help caregivers increase wage-earning potential, facilitate emergency savings, and encourage investing in the future. Pathways’ Compass Early Learning Center currently supports 84 children and their families. They’ve welcomed us to help with meaningful hands-on projects around their campus—and they’ve also shared a wish list of much-needed supplies we can collect.
