The Path Project is a community outreach program that exists in trailer park communities which are home to majority first and second generation Mexican immigrants. The Path Project started in The Gwinnett Estates Mobile Home Park in Loganville, GA as an outreach ministry of Graystone Church. It has grown into an independent organization serving children and families in several trailer park communities.
The Path Project, formerly The Hope Center, strives to address the challenges these at-risk children face due to the absence of positive role models, lack of basic skills, and the hopelessness that leads to gang activity, teen pregnancy, and dropping out of high school. Since 2008, we have been inspired by the determination of the children in these communities who are striving to stay on the right path.
