The PATHS team is a group of people who believe in fun, joy, and connection. We also believe that many of us, both teenagers and adults, are not getting some important things we need to be healthy, happy, strong, and confident - to be all that we can be. Most of our team are educators, most of us are also parents (some of us with teenage or older children), one of us is a mental health worker. We are always looking for companions from ANY background to help us make this work live and thrive.

Board Members
“I feel best when I’m rooted in community….There is a dire need for a mentoring program like PATHS,.... a safe and consistent place for teenagers (and adults) to be themselves and learn from each other."
“I am an unapologetic woman of color who was raised by a hard-working entrepreneurial mother.......PATHS provides so many tools to explore and define
a person’s own sense of success.”
“As a group, we can face things we can’t face alone, and help each other learn and grow so much more.”

“Community and social supports are well known to be protective factors against multiple health challenges.”
“My childhood trauma has been transformed into a source of strength through the healing process I was able to enjoy within positive communities. No one should experience trauma and struggle alone. The support and input from our peers allow us to heal and grow.”
“Being young comes with its challenges, but with the PATHS mentorship program youths don't have to feel so alone in their journey. ”
