About us

Pathway To Kinship was founded by Marc Vahanian in 2017.

Marc was introduced to the work of Father Greg Boyle and Homeboy Industries, which provides support services to formerly gang-involved and previously incarcerated men and women. Under Father Greg’s leadership, Homeboy introduces the possibility of kinship, inclusion, healing and redemption. This inspired Marc to get involved.

After reaching out to Homeboy, Marc was led to a sister organization ARC – Anti-Recidivist Coalition – which offers a broad set of re-entry services, including Job Readiness. Soon, Marc began coaching participants in job interview and professional conduct training. Within the first hour of working with a group of 10 men and women, Marc was hooked and Pathway To Kinship was born.
