Welcome to JOSHWAY
What Is JOSHWAY?
In 2021, Josh’s journey with mental health challenges and addiction came to a tragic end. From that loss, JOSHWAY was born rooted in the belief that every young person deserves a pathway forward. JOSHWAY is a bridge. We partner with youth-focused organizations and schools to guide young people across five foundational pillars: Money Smarts, Speak Up & Shine, Digital Knowledge, Health & Well-being, and Future Ready. Each step of the journey helps students build confidence, resilience, and purpose, developing the kind of holistic leadership that lasts a lifetime. Whether we’re in a classroom, after-school program, or community center, our mission remains the same: to help every young person cross that bridge to inspire, learn, and lead.
IN THE UNITED STATES ALONE
From the pressures of social media to the rise of digital distractions, today’s youth are navigating a world that demands more from them than ever before.
Over 90% of teens use social media daily, leading to heightened feelings of anxiety, isolation, and self-doubt.
Screen time now averages 7 hours a day, reducing time for meaningful, real-world connections. Exposure to unrealistic expectations and cyberbullying is taking a toll on mental health.
Dream Big, Learn More, Lead Forward
At JOSHWAY, we believe that these challenges don’t have to define the next generation. Instead, we see them as an opportunity—a chance to Inspire youth to rise above the noise.
Inspire. Learn. Lead.
Our programs are designed to turn the digital world from a source of stress into a tool for growth, creativity, and leadership.
Help youth dream beyond the screen by showing them what’s possible through art, music, and storytelling.
Teach practical skills like coding, creative expression, and mindfulness to help them turn their dreams into reality.

With the right tools and support, youth can:
Let’s reimagine the digital landscape together. Let’s create a brighter, more intentional future.
