PathNet was created to address the high rates of dropout youth in King County with involvement in the juvenile justice system. PathNet uses a path of networked organizations within the community to re-engage youth that have dropped out or prevent them from doing so. The Vera Institute of Justice was tapped to monitor and provide feedback during PathNet’s pilot phase (June 2010-May 2012).This report combines the first year descriptive analysis of the youth entering PathNet completed by Vera in 2011 with a year 2 analysis which replicated the previous study while expanding the list of measures. This analysis includes descriptive statistics on the entire sample of PathNet youth and preliminary educational and vocational outcomes.
