Expressive Path Inc.

I love what they do for the community. Its great to see people giving to children and helping them get access to art and music, helping and nurturing their creative side.

Expressive Path is a wonderful organization. The teachers and staff put so much time and thought behind each event and activity they share with their students and the community. Working at Expressive Path has given me firsthand insight into the talent and camaraderie that flourishes there day to day and the safe space they have created for everyone to tap into their creativity.

Expressive Path is a great organization dedicated to providing disadvantaged youth with creative outlets in the music and arts. They are doing wonderful things for the community and have a wide variety of classes and events. I am thrilled to be a part of this growing organization. I can't recommend EP enough.

I am currently Interning at Expressive Path. Pamela and her team are so generous and welcoming that it makes being here so much fun. I feel like I am learning a lot as a marketing intern but at my own pace. I am very grateful I get to be a part of this team during my internship.

Pamela Martin and her team are some of the kindest people I have ever met. Each person is dedicated to their respective job and helping the community. Kindness goes a long way, and in times like this it is especially necessary. Expressive Path is excellent for both underprivileged youths and for mentors looking to connect with the community they call home. I highly recommend Expressive Path.

I have met so many great mentors and supporters while volunteering with this group and what they do for the community and the youth is very inspiring! They offer a lot of exiting activities and even have live performances by the students to showcase their talents. They offer everything from music, photography, art, theatre and so much more. This is a wonderful nonprofit and I would highly recommend!

Expressive Path is an amazing program! It allows you express yourself threw art, music, dance and so much more. You can be who you are. The program has helped me unlock artistic abilities i didn’t know i had. I’ve created friendships with the other students, some who i consider my best friends! The teachers and staff have also made a big impact in my life and u couldn’t be more grateful. So glad to be apart of this amazing, incredible, unforgettable program.

I’m grateful for Expressive Path because I have met a lot of good friend because of it. Expressive Path, is a comfortable place where you can meet new people, do activities, and learn some pretty cool stuff and I’ll always be grateful for it.

Expressive Path is such a wonderful organization! I appreciate what they do for the youth in my community. And I love attending their many events!!!

My child attends expressive path and I could not be more grateful for all that community has done for our family. It is an all-inclusive environment and the director Pam is very compassionate and seems to really have personal interest in making sure every child shines. There are no words to express how thankful I am for this organization.

I have had the honor of working with Expressive Path for the past six months, and have been able to see first-hand the opportunities that this wonderful organization has provided to students and members of the community to showcase their talents through various outlets. From art education to mentorship to self-expression programs, Expressive Path opens doors for so many individuals that otherwise may not have had the same opportunities. It is for these reasons that I am proud to contribute to this organization in any way that I can.

The level of devotion and care that goes into this program for students is so heart warming. The art programs offered and community engagement is something that I am honored to be apart of. I am excited to see this years upcoming events for the students and community

My experience with this program is amazing, I've met a lot of new people and fellow artist around the town who also enjoy creating amazing pieces of art
They offer many programs from art and music to future ideas about careers. They have a summer program where I got to be around other peers who also enjoyed and loved the experience, I created amazing pieces and works of art. I hope others will share the same experience and enjoy this program the way I am.

I have witnessed Expressive Path start with a dream, turn into a reality and with each passing year grow into one of the most unique & impactful youth organizations in the community. It is an organization that is inclusive, innovative and provides a safe environment for youth to gather, share common interest, learn from each other's differences and express their creative energy through a variety of instructions and activities. It gives me great pleasure to volunteer time at Expressive Path community events and witness first hand the students proudly displaying their various talents, supporting each other and most of all having fun.

Art in the Park was a beautiful day at Elmwood zoo What a fun day

This creative outlet allows expression in the arts in a safe environment for underserved teens. Who would otherwise may not had that experience.

This is a fun nurturing place

I had an awesome time volunteering for Expressive Path at one of their recent fundraisers. I love that I have an opportunity to help others. I’m looking forward to volunteering again in the future for this great organization.

I have enjoyed volunteering and working with Pamela at expressive path. This organization does such great things for an under resourced community. The talents of these young men and women are extraordinary. Thank you to expressive path for giving them an outlet and opportunities to shine.

Expressive Path is a not for profit organization that is very dear to my heart. I have volunteered a bit through the years and have seen the amazing progress that has been made in the community.
The reason they are in existence is to provide access to the visual and musical arts to underserved youth who wouldn’t have the chance to achieve their dream.
This organization can be life changing for teenagers who are given the opportunity to express their talent.

Expressive path, is a wonderful organization that provides materials, instructions and encouragement to our underserved youth in the areas of art and music.
Expressive Path supports aspiring, grade school and high school aged, artists and musicians, giving them a safe place to practice, advance, and display their artistic and musical talents. This is done under the instruction of volunteer mentors and teachers, who dedicate their talents and countless hours to the talented youth of our community.

A great and epic expirience for my grand daugther ..Pam and the team there, has helped my grand daughter grow and express her talents and build her confidence ... this has carried over to everything she does outside of Expressive path ...thank you Pam and Team for all you do!!!!

This nonprofit does great work! I have taught classes for their students, and I saw the benefit that the students gained from the experience. They even got to keep the supplies they used during the lesson to continue to practice at home.

Pamela and her team give it their all on every project and event! Expressive Path is an invaluable part of the Norristown and greater Philadelphia community.

Its important that Expressive Path exists, I love helping here and seeing the kids get into all the activities, from music to art to fashion to acting, and the list continues. Pamela works really hard to make sure all her volunteers are cared for! Love this non profit! Keep up the good work!

I’ve known Expressive Path for 4 years. As a member of a band that devoted time to play Expressive Path events I’ve witnessed the amazing impact this organization has on teens and the surrounding community. Its founder, Pamela, is extremely passionate, dedicated and well organized - and has surrounded herself with a great team. I recently decided to devote more time to serving the community and I can think of no better way than to help Expressive Path achieve its mission.

EP brings to disadvantaged kids what the world needs so much right now: creative arts that can bring such joy, can connect you in a deep emotional way with people and cultures you're unfamiliar with, can expose you to a different way of looking at things, can make you feel you're not alone. Because of EP, so many teens have opportunities they didn't have before, experiences that can open their hearts and help them to better understand the breadth and depth of living each day

Expressive Path has allowed me grow my self within the art that I love, shaping me to become a more happy and defined me. They seriously changed my life to help with my music and if I ever become something one day all thanks would go to them and their exceptional work.

Expressive Path is such an amazing organization with all of the resources and opportunities they provide for our local community. It gives resources to disadvantage teens to showcase their talents in the community. We are truly fortunate to have such an incredible organization in the community!

Excellent organization! Programs are impactful and helpful the kids that need it the most. So proud to be affiliated with organization.

I have been involved with Expressive Path for just over 7 months and I have been honored to contribute my time for this amazing organization and watch the benefit that the kids get out of this organization. They offer so many great classes like photography, music, art, poetry and events that the students love to participate in and you can see all the posts on their Facebook page. On September 11th 2021 I was able to experience Art in the Park at Elmwood Zoo and it was the most crowded I had ever seen the zoo and there was a lot of energy. There was live music for most of the afternoon and many displays of art throughout the zoo. I look forward to continuing to contribute any way I can.

My daughter start with expressive face when I guess she was about 14 she is really into art and has learned a lot about different mediums through taking different classes and gained a lot of confidence by showing her work at all the different events and she has also come out of her shell a lot from the interactions with the mentors i and the other students she took classes with. I feel the expressive path is a very good organization that does a lot of work with the children of the community. They offer encouragement to reach outside your box and try something different in the arts

Expressive Path is a wonderful organization and has an incredible influence on the students they serve. My daughter had an opportunity to participate in their summer camp program this year and it was her favorite camp experience ever! The kids were introduced to a great variety of creative and fun ways to express themselves - drawing, painting, paint pouring, dance, tie-dyeing shirts, print-making, and fashion day! Just as awesome as all of the finished art projects, they were provided a chance to work with supportive and talented staff and volunteers, make new friends in a safe and caring environment, and gain confidence to let their personalities shine!

VOLUNTEER EXPRESSIONS
My name is Layle E. Murray. I worked with Expressive Path for a few months during the summer/fall season of 2021. It was a blast! I even enjoyed coming to work on a Monday!
At the risk of sounding like I’m getting paid to write this, I must say it was like hanging out with friends doing stuff on our computers-like at home. I quickly felt like a part of something big. I had major support from Pamela Martin the director. Everything I did was appreciated.
I have taken computer courses and had become quite proficient; however, I had become quite rusty in my skills. (Covid didn’t help.) But Pamela and Nicole were very patient in helping me come up to speed. Pamela even took time to help me with my own business.
The workshops with the kids were a lot of fun as well. There was something for them to do every minute. I was surprised also by how much they took home at the end of the week. The teachers that volunteered their time often acted like they didn’t want to leave.
In short Expressive Path is synonymous with Family, fun, friendship, and yes-food! Really great. If you are creative and love to be around other creative people, there are openings available.

Sincerely,
Layle

I have been involved with Expressive Path for over 4 years. It has been an honor to work with this amazing organization and watch our talented students grow. While growing up, I was provided the opportunity to take art classes provided for free through the Carnegie museum to select middle-school students. My school district also had great art and music departments. With my parents support, I was able to take private private lessons in art and music. I say all this knowing today's students do not have most of these opportunities--and they should! To bridge any gaps, Expressive Path provides all these opportunities and more for our students. Our students know they are supported. In meeting our students through Expressive Path's showcases and events, I am truly inspired by them. It is a joy to see them happy and blossoming. I want to continue to help in any way I can!

Expressive Path is one of the most selfless and creative organizations I have ever had the pleasure of working for. I started here as an in intern in my senior year, and I have come to learn and love this organization. Their commitment to giving students a creative outlet and access to art is truly inspiring! I could not ask to be apart of a better team :)

Ive volunteered and was a student at Expressive Path for years prior. The mentors were absolutely wonderful and helped me learn about creating art in various mediums, along with how to produce, promote and sell said art. Their community events are always a blast, too! It's always a lot of fun seeing so many people come together to support young upcoming artists and fellow members of the community. It's also great getting to meet other members and volunteers, or just people who've been involved with Expressive Path and hearing how this organization has impacted their own stories. Expressive Path has made a huge impact on my life, and I always look forward to seeing them do the same for others!

Expressive Path provides excellent art and music services throughout the Montgomery County area. They have provided creative arts opportunities to our students at TLC Leadership Academy and their services were a favorite at our academy. This organization is truly dedicated to their mission and they continue to have a positive, lasting impact on youth within the community. In addition to their programs, they hold various community events that are perfect for families and youth. We highly recommend attending their annual Art in the Park event! It is a great showcase of community resources and helps support mission-oriented, local businesses throughout the county, including one of our favorites: Expressive Path!
