Our Impact: Transforming Lives Through Kinship

Pathway to Kinship is committed to making tangible differences in the lives of currently and formerly incarcerated individuals and their families. Our tailored programs focus on holistic support, emotional resilience, and skill development. By collaborating with partner organizations, we've assisted hundreds in securing housing, job training, and employment, all while supporting their emotional healing. Learn about some of the individuals we've empowered and our dedicated staff below.

Sister Mary

Founder of PREP

"Marc Vahanian swiftly became an essential champion of our mission. His skills and experience as an executive coach have been an immense gift to our team and his passion for the people for whom we advocate is contagious. His professionalism has increased our team's morale and productivity."

Carlos

Facilitator

"Through Pathway To Kinship, Mr. Vahanian has offered his volunteer time as a coach and mentor to numerous members who have been transitioning into society after incarceration, many of whom have been away for 20+ years. He brings a compassionate heart to this work, patience and tremendous skills that resonate with our community, making their transition come with ease and support."

Yjah

Pathway to Kinship Alumni

"I was released from prison after 22 years. With much optimism to join the workforce, I had to learn the basics of getting a job, so I attended a job readiness seminar for skills training. Following this seminar, I had my first job interview - which I aced due to the tips, interviewing do's and don'ts, and dress-to-impress attitude I learned in the course. Since then, I have received advice and support in my supervisory role. The lessons learned continue to lead me in the right direction."

Amy

Founder of POPS

"Executive Coach Marc Vahanian is the gift that keeps on giving. His leadership training course for the youth served by our nonprofit organization, has been life-changing, and Marc's wisdom, kindness, and generosity of spirit, leadership and warmth has had a far-reaching impact not only on the young people who participated in this course, but on those who have benefited as a result."

Tony

PREP Director

"Marc is a natural motivator who made us think outside the box and push beyond our comfort zone; he is a great coach who showed us how to work as a team and is a friend who calls "just to say hi." I have personally benefitted from the sound of wisdom and structured guidance I received through Pathway To Kinship."

Salim

Pathway to Kinship Alumni

"I served 22 years in prison, and through The 7 Keys framework, Marc's mentorship, and positive role-modeling I learned how to conduct myself like a professional and what it means to be a man of integrity.

Pathway To Kinship is helping me successfully transition back into society. They genuinely care for the welfare of others."
