Level Pathways, Inc

High school is hard enough—but imagine facing it without a safe place to sleep. For many teens, homelessness isn’t a distant issue—it’s their daily reality. Instead of focusing on homework or planning for the future, they’re consumed by the question: Where will I sleep tonight?

When a young person is forced to leave home, they often move from couch to couch, relying on friends and acquaintances for temporary shelter. This instability makes it nearly impossible to concentrate on school, let alone thrive.

Level Pathways exists to change that. We provide stable housing for teenagers experiencing homelessness—giving them the security they need to focus on their education, build meaningful relationships, and envision a brighter future.

Sometimes, all it takes is a little care to spark a transformation. We’ve seen it time and again—students who, with just a bit of attention, begin to sit up straighter, walk with confidence, and rediscover their sense of self-worth. A good night’s sleep and a fresh set of clothes can do wonders—not just physically, but emotionally. This is especially true for teenagers navigating the uncertainty of homelessness.

At Level Pathways, we’re working tirelessly to end teen homelessness in North Texas. Our mission is to protect, prepare, and position homeless teens for success—giving them the stability they need to thrive today and build a brighter tomorrow.

About Level Pathways

Level Pathways, Inc., is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit located in Irving, Texas (Dallas County). It was established to provide a safe, secure, and nurturing environment in which homeless high school students can live, learn, graduate, and develop into productive citizens.

We are providing the fundamental tools and services to youth in Irving, Texas, to end youth homelessness in this underserved area. We provide housing, food, clothing, tutoring, medical and dental, employment, counseling, and other case management services.

Irving is centrally situated between Dallas and Fort Worth, home to more than 240,000 residents. Of that number, there are approximately 1,000 homeless youth, including 200 between the ages of 14 and 24. 75% of homeless teenagers either plan to or already have, dropped out of school. In addition, teenagers on the street are more likely to be victims of human trafficking, forced to sell illegal drugs, or initiated into gangs.

Level Pathways comprises a core team of tireless campaigners and hard-working volunteers who keep our nonprofit running.
