About Us

  • Recognizing the need for comprehensive health and social skills programming rooted in understanding, we have developed a holistic curriculum set to launch in the 2025 school year.

    Our mission extends beyond supporting students—we strive to collaborate with schools, ensuring a transformative and enriching experience for the entire school community.

    Through our partnerships, we are proud to offer impactful programming designed to empower and equip students throughout the Cleveland-Akron area, fostering health, confidence, and lifelong success.

  • The mission of the VitalPath Initiative is to empower underserved students facing socioeconomic challenges by providing effective health initiatives that deliver tailored education, essential resources, and compassionate support to promote overall well-being and success.

  • VitalPath Initiative is a dynamic and comprehensive program designed to bridge the socioeconomic gap in health education and resources, specifically serving underserved communities in the Northeast Cleveland/Akron area. This programming is delivered in collaboration with local schools and tailored to meet the unique needs of each school and community through hands-on, interactive curricula and differentiated objectives.

  • Many of our classes align with mandated subject requirements for science and health, making it easier for schools to meet educational standards. Our unique curriculum is tied directly to these standards, providing valuable support for teachers and reducing their planning workload.

  • Our classes can be offered as "specials" or "electives," providing your school with valuable opportunities to enrich students' education while giving staff essential planning time. We also conduct a comprehensive needs assessment to tailor our programming to your school's unique requirements, ensuring you get the maximum benefit from our offerings.

  • We offer professional development opportunities, including one-on-one teacher coaching, to ensure that educators feel confident building on the knowledge and skills introduced in our classes and safety initiatives. Through personalized coaching and ongoing support, we empower teachers to enhance their instructional practices and professional growth.

  • Certain parts of our program can be covered by Medicaid, making it accessible at no cost to the school. Title funds can also be used to finance the program, and we’ve prepared comprehensive descriptions to streamline your Title submission process. Additionally, we accept John Peterson funding to help offset costs for eligible students. To further enhance affordability, we actively seek donations and grants, ensuring that schools have greater access to high-quality programming without financial barriers.

  • Our program is designed to reduce the burden on school staff. Rather than adding extra work, we provide full support to administration, staff, students, and the broader community.

  • VitalPath Initiative includes outreach events that extend beyond the school, promoting health and well-being within the surrounding community and fostering stronger connections.

  • We understand that every school has unique priorities. Our programming is highly adaptable, tailored to align with your school’s specific needs and goals.

  • School safety is a cornerstone of our initiative. We offer a comprehensive safety assessment and tailored preparedness training, ensuring your school community is well-equipped to handle unexpected events or circumstances.

  • Our team is composed of experienced professionals trained in effective behavior management practices, making them well-equipped to work with typical class sizes while maintaining a supportive learning environment.

  • Once your school partners with us, you’ll continue to have access to our resources and materials as a VitalPath Initiative member, ensuring lasting benefits for your community.
