Pathways to Potential puts the support of case workers in your community - where you can easily connect with them.
The first phase of this program provides Family Resource Centers in neighborhood schools. These centers are staffed with "Success Coaches" who are ready to help you and your family find help with things like education, employment, food and day care.
As we roll out the next phases of Pathways to Potential, the presence of DHS workers in your community will grow. We are committed to placing staff where you need them most so they can provide you with resources that will lead to independence.
Pathways to Potential is based on our successful partnership with Sibley Elementary School in Grand Rapids. DHS social workers have been embedded in 15 schools, including Sibley School, since 2005.
