At Pathways to Success Counseling & Community Center, we believe every woman and child deserves safety, support, and the chance to thrive. Located in the heart of Canton, Ohio, our center is a welcoming space for women, children, and families facing life’s toughest challenges — from surviving abuse to navigating single parenthood.

We understand that healing is not a straight path. That’s why we walk alongside survivors of domestic violence, at-risk youth, and single parents, providing compassionate care, trusted resources, and a community that empowers families to rebuild their lives.

🌟 Our Mission

Our mission is simple but powerful: to create a safe and empowering space where women, children, and families can heal, grow, and build pathways toward independence and hope.

🌟 Our Vision

We envision a Canton community where no woman or child feels alone in their struggle. Where survivors find healing, single parents find strength, and children discover hope for their future. Together, we strive to break cycles of trauma by offering resources, education, and advocacy that uplift and empower families.
