Children and families face increasingly complex barriers to success—from mental health challenges and educational inequities to economic instability and social isolation.

Eastside Pathways helps communities work better together by aligning partners, sharing data, amplifying community voice, and driving collective action that improves outcomes for children and youth.

The Next Chapter of Collective Impact

As we look toward 2027–2030, Eastside Pathways is bringing partners together to reflect on what 15 years of collective impact has taught us and identify where we are best positioned to create change together. This strategic planning series is about more than setting goals. It’s about building a shared vision for sustainable, systems-level impact that can endure and grow over time.

 

Building Better Early Learning Systems, Together

Our Early Learning co-development work is bringing families together to share experiences, identify barriers, exchange wisdom, and help shape stronger supports for children and families. These conversations are informing a community resource grounded in the knowledge, resilience, and lived experience of Black and African families.

 

Listening to Youth. Learning What Needs to Change.

 

Young people know what helps them thrive and what gets in their way. This year, Eastside Pathways’ Youth Council brought youth together to examine the challenges affecting their lives, identify root causes, and imagine what more responsive systems could look like. Explore what we learned when we gave young people the space and tools to lead the conversation.

Sometimes, the Work Is Simply Making Space

 

Space for joy. Space for rest. Space for truth. Space for belonging. Through our continued support of affinity spaces, Eastside Pathways is helping cultivate community and connection among people whose experiences are not always reflected in traditional spaces. Our Year, Our Voice offers a glimpse into what can emerge when people have room to reflect, connect, and be in community together.

 

 

We Need All of Us

Every child deserves opportunities to thrive.

 

Whether you contribute your time, talent, or financial support, you become part of a growing movement creating lasting change across East King County.

    “This moment calls for deep empathy and even deeper partnership. We cannot out-organize a broken funding structure alone, but we can outlast it together. We’re holding space for hard conversations. We’re advocating for students…”

    Let’s keep showing up. Let’s keep building forward. Together.”
