Pathway 1:
By mobilizing all of the energy and ideas of our community, especially those of the people who have been left out in the past, we will build a Pathways Organization with the capacity to achieve our goals.  Through training and communication tools, we will sharpen our community organizing skills and use that new capacity in campaigns with direct benefits for the poor; by increasing use of Earned income and Childcare Tax Credits, and by expanding third party health care coverage for those who qualify.
We will reach out to include our youth by helping those most at risk to re-engage in our schools and our community, and by creating a Youth Council that will give our young people the chance to design and carry out their own Pathways projects.

Pathway 2:
Our strategies will determine why our dollars leave the Reservation so quickly; create new businesses to fill the gaps we identify; breathe new life into our existing Tribal Enterprises; create an Enterprise Center to provide help to new and emerging businesses; revitalize downtown Belcourt as a magnet for businesses; aggregate our financial power to win banking services and access to capital; and add the essential amenities to realize our potential for cultural and environmental tourism.

Pathway 3:
We will adopt Comprehensive Land Use to guide development and protect our natural resources; create a “green housing’ strategy to employ our people in meeting the critical need for housing; create a Tribal Utility to gain sovereignty over our energy resources; expand access to the Internet; improve way finding to enhance mail delivery and emergency services; and create a resource recovery system to converse our natural resources and improve living conditions on Tribal lands.

Pathways to Prosperity is a non-profit organization funded in part by the Northwest Area Foundation as a 10 year poverty reduction plan for the Turtle Mountains.
Through the efforts of over 400 community members joining together with their thoughts and concerns for the community and their hopes and dreams for its future, the Poverty Reduction Plan was written and submitted to the Northwest Area Foundation.
