Celebrating 15 Years of Pathways To Education Kingston!
Buy a Hoodie. Give a Hoodie. Empower a Student.
Pathways to Education Kingston is celebrating 15 years of service in Kingston — and we’re commemorating this milestone with a hoodie that gives back.
Introducing our limited-edition anniversary hoodie: a cozy, stylish way to support local youth. For every hoodie purchased, we’ll donate one to a student in our program. That means when you stay warm, a student in our community does too.
This unique and boutique design was crafted by renowned designer Nash Paul D’Souza, the creative mind behind the striking visual identity of our commemorative magazine.
Inspired by a photograph of a student taken in 2011, the design captures the essence of our journey and growth. With Nash’s signature attention to detail and visual storytelling, this piece stands out as both meaningful and memorable.

Why It Matters - Our Story (Told Through Hoodies)
For 15 years, Pathways to Education Kingston has been walking alongside youth in North Kingston—supporting, encouraging, and building futures. But our story isn’t just written in milestones—it’s woven into every hoodie.
What started as a creative way to use a surplus advertising budget became something much deeper. Our hoodies have become symbols of community, pride, and belonging. Each design marks a chapter in our journey—from our very first office in a social housing unit, to launching the FAR (Facilitator of Alumni Relations) program to celebrating over 500 graduates
Today, our hoodies are more than warm clothing—they’re a badge of resilience and a reminder that when we invest in youth, we all rise.
Buy one. Give one. Be part of the story.

We are a unique, community-based program working to empower high school youth in North Kingston with the tools to succeed in school, work, and life. Our mission is to increase graduation rates in the Rideau Heights & Inner Harbour neighbourhoods and help break the cycle of poverty through consistent, wraparound support.
Our program helps students successfully transition to post-secondary education, meaningful employment or enter a skilled trade. All high school students who live in our catchment area—from Conacher Drive to Raglan Road and Division Street to the Cataraqui River—are eligible.
