Buckner Family Pathways® is designed to help single parents who are pursuing their education and need to care for their children while determining next steps for their family’s future.

Single-parent programs help single moms or single dads overcome barriers that prevent self-sufficiency, such as education, career prospects and life skills. These barriers ultimately affect the potential for children to succeed at school and later in their adult lives.

At Buckner Family Pathways, single parents can break the cycle for future generations and transform into strong, successful and sustainable families.
