About Us

Purpose

Mission Statement:
CRE Pathways is a BPPE-exempt vocational institution committed to advancing economic mobility by building innovative, community-rooted workforce pipelines. Since 2006, we have equipped marginalized youth and adults with the skills, exposure, and support needed to access high-demand, high-quality careers through non-traditional education, paid fellowships, and hands-on training. As the home of Sacramento’s only Fellowship Pipeline directly linking underrepresented talent to mid-level public service and industry roles, we bridge the gap between potential and opportunity—one pathway at a time.

Mission

The CRE Pathways’ mission is to enhance the quality of life in underserved communities through education, small business development, and sustainability, which results in strong community structures.

Vision

CRE Pathways, a non-profit educational benefit intermediary program, will effectively build nationwide networks of resources that support collaborations between underserved communities, emerging and existing businesses, as well as grassroots organizations and advocacy groups. This support base and vocational curriculum will afford individuals essential knowledge and education that will enable them to grow and sustain strong businesses as well as thrive within local job markets, thus achieving sustainability, self-sufficiency, and a growing change in community economics.
