Pathways Update: 2026 Cohort of Twelve Non-Profit Leaders Selected
The Barton Institute’s Pathways Program engages mid-career, metro Denver-based social sector Leaders with historically marginalized identities (BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and leaders with disabilities) in Metro Denver organizations through one-year mentoring relationships with Mentors who share similar lived experiences and/or professional expertise.
The program seeks to create a dynamic environment for participants to accelerate their learning and deepen their connections within the sector through a combination of cohort-based learning and personalized one-to-one mentoring sessions with an experienced Mentor. Leaders connect with like-minded peers dedicated to making a positive impact through their bold visions for social change. Additionally, the Leaders have opportunities to build community and collaborate with all the Leaders and Mentors in the program over the course of the year.
We are thrilled to announce and welcome our 2026 cohort of 12 exceptional non-profit Leaders to the Pathways Program:
These Leaders represent organizations focused on social justice and civil rights; newcomer, disability, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ communities; media; public policy and advocacy; youth and young people; and the environment. We are excited to launch the second year of the program in January 2026.
