Sowing the Seeds of Leadership
Building communities through partnership, education and opportunity.
Competency, Application and Mastery (CAM)
Empowering Future Leaders
CAM Pathways (CAMP) is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization designed to empower future leaders beyond the classroom by turning the whole community into a learning campus where education, work, and service are fully integrated. At the same time, their peers are just graduating from high school; participants can earn an accredited high school diploma, build real experience and relationships in their community, demonstrate true mastery of key subjects, and potentially complete a college degree or at least earn substantial college credit. By removing redundant coursework and organizing learning around mastery, apprenticeships, and job placement, CAM Pathways accelerates the journey from classroom to career so young people enter adulthood with stronger credentials, deeper purpose, and a proven record of impact in the workforce and their communities. Face it! Some people learn better by doing rather than by sitting in the classroom (not that there is anything wrong with the classroom).
Career Readiness Has Many Paths
Public school work-ready program
A complementary public school program is built to work with, not against, local districts by aligning with school goals and offering students a “work ready” certificate that signals foundational skills and career readiness to employers. This is accomplished by providing apprenticeships with local businesses and a competency and mastery based program that where college credits are earned and ready for transfer.
The program not only helps students to become better prepared but local teachers and business owners and parents have the opportunity to work with a non-profit and earn a little extra spending money and raise funds for their own classrooms, while helping to mentor future leaders.
Faith-Based micro-school accelerated academy
The faith-based micro-school program awards a regionally accredited diploma. It embeds an accelerated college program, with courses and assessments, evaluated by the American Council on Education (ACE), allowing students to potentially earn widely recognized college credit while still in high school.
Using a competency, application, and mastery (CAM) framework, students move forward by demonstrating what they know and can do through real work, not just seat time. Apprenticeships and community-based projects with local partners give them the chance to apply their learning in authentic settings, build in-demand skills, and graduate with both advanced credentials and meaningful experience while earning college credit.
We provide the program, the teachers, the back-end infrastructure, and business operations.
