Creative Pathways Collective (CPC) empowers underserved families by building cooperative, community-led systems of care and support. We create accessible, license-exempt child care networks, educational opportunities, and resource-sharing models that promote equity, self-determination, and mutual aid. Through grassroots organizing and innovative programming, CPC supports the well-being of children and caregivers while advancing long-term, transformative change. In addition, CPC is committed to uplifting foster youth and young people with lived experience in the child welfare system by providing meaningful employment opportunities and support pathways to higher education or the workforce. By investing in potential, we aim to break cycles of systemic inequity and build a future rooted in empowerment, resilience, and community care.
