PATH Programs Power Youth Wellness

Through a 2025 WNC Bridge IMPACT Grant, Partners Aligned Toward Health (PATH) is supporting youth in Mitchell and Yancey counties by expanding two trusted programs, Appalachian Youth to Youth and Cougar Fit Club. These programs help young people build leadership skills, connect with peers, and support their mental health and overall well-being during a time of continued recovery.

By using trauma-informed approaches and connecting with students through schools, summer camps, and community events, PATH is reaching more young people and helping them feel supported and confident.

Rooted in local schools and communities, PATH’s work reflects WNC Bridge’s commitment to investing in partners who meet young people where they are and help build healthier future.
