Introducing our newest magazine,
The Journey: Positive Possibilities, Partnership & Progress.
For the third year, we’ve collaborated with the Chicago Tribune and community partners to create a special publication that shares inspiring and informative stories and keeps you connected with a full calendar of events in May and June. This edition focuses on the importance of safety for everyone in the community and the positive outcomes we achieve by working together to build strong communities.
The publication is distributed to 29,000 people in more than 25 communities throughout Palos, Lemont, Orland, Stickney, and Worth Townships. Please contact Diana at dvisk@pathlight.org if you’d like a magazine sent to your home. We hope that the stories of impact in this publication will inspire you to help continue the advocacy efforts to ensure safety in our communities.
For optimal viewing, please view the digital flip book. Note: open as full screen and use the arrow on the right to page through and flip through the magazine. If you prefer, you can also download the PDF version.
