EMPath’s flagship program, Career Family Opportunity (CFO), is an intensive, three-year program designed to holistically support families to map out, strategize, and reach their economic mobility goals. This is a newly revamped program based on the original pilot of EMPath’s coaching approach. Program participants and mentors together set goals to support participants’ increased economic mobility and aspirations including goals such as, contributing  to a matched savings account, earning a college degree, securing employment that earns a family sustaining wage, and homeownership.
