WHO WE ARE
Since 1993, The Pathfinder Network (TPN) has been providing justice-system impacted individuals and their families the tools and support they need to be safe and thrive in our communities.
We serve individuals experiencing incarceration, those reentering the community, those on forms of community supervision, their families, and their children, both in the community at our Center for Family Success, within 9 of Oregon's 11 corrections facilities, at the Marion County Parole and Probation, Transition Center and Jail, and at Jackson County Community Justice, Transition Center and two other offices, the Collaborative and Parkside Place.
We also expanded our Peer Services within Multnomah County to include a building for the Resilience and Recovery Project - Multnomah County.
We develop and deliver a comprehensive scope of evidence-based, trauma-, gender- and culturally-responsive cognitive behavioral-based programs, including our proprietary, evidence-based curriculum Parenting Inside Out, which is the highest-rated parenting skills curriculum for parents involved with the criminal justice system.
Our community programs feature holistic wraparound individual and group support and services. We serve an average of 3,000 people a year agency-wide.
We are intentional about building a healthy and thriving organizational culture and envision a community of staff, partners, volunteers, and donors who are deeply committed to equitable, just and anti-racist practices in every facet of our organization.
We believe every member on our team enriches our diversity by exposing us to a broad range of ways to understand and engage with the world, identify challenges, and to discover, design and deliver solutions.
At TPN, we envision communities that welcome all people, provide second chances, and create pathways to change. We believe all people have the capacity to change.We honor the dignity and worth of every individual, engage our clients and employees with compassion, and bring excellence to all we do.
