The Pathways Foundation has recently established a “social networking” platform to foster communication among all stakeholders and everybody who has been touched by the work of the Foundation. Our first objective is to gather 1,000 people within this network.
A contemporary, community based Rite of Passage for boys to Manhood. A 5 or 6 day bush camp for boys aged 13-15 years and their fathers or a male mentor.
A contemporary, community based Rite of Passage for girls into Womanhood. A 5 day program for girls aged 12-15 years and their mothers or a woman mentor.
A unique, highly effective Leadership development program that provides opportunities to deepen your leadership qualities and skills in a range of environments including ongoing involvement as a Leader on Pathways programs.
A fun, adventure filled, bush camping weekend that celebrates the boys’ relationship with their fathers. For boys aged 6-10 and their fathers or a mentor.
Trained speakers can be available to deliver FREE talks on Raising Teenage Boys to the parents at your school or community group. The talk is focussed on solutions and preventative models that empower teens to reach their full potential.
There are places available for past participants to return and deepen their original experience on every Pathways to Manhood and Pathways into Womanhood program. This is a great opportunity and we recommend an integration period of approx. nine months before returning and joining a team of experienced leaders.
