The Catholic Volunteers in Florida Pathways to Success Project provides coaching and mentoring services to increase student success and college and career readiness for students in urban-core high schools in Miami Dade County. Student success and career readiness coaching is provided in partnership with the Florida International University Education Effect.

The program also includes a pilot project in Wimauma, located in rural Hillsborough County.

In both cities, members provide coaching and mentoring that focuses on goal setting, problem solving, critical thinking, self-esteem, communication, leadership skills, community engagement, and awareness of opportunities for postsecondary education. Members also provide career readiness training in the areas of resume writing, interview skills, business planning, and more.
