Through Melwood Community Services’ Building Paths program, Philip is learning a skill that will one day lead to a good job. It’s about creating a pathway to a bright and sustainable future—a future that Philip can already envision.

Since joining Building Paths, Philip, who has a learning disability, has already made significant strides in life. Thanks to a partnership with MINT, he is also giving back to his community by putting to use skills he learned in Building Paths to help beautify his neighborhood.

“I’m just trying to find my way, but for the first time my future is bright. I see a very bright future and I know my kids are proud of me,” he said.
