THE PATHFINDER NETWORK

MISSION The Pathfinder Network was founded in 1993 to provide justice system-impacted individuals and families the tools and support they need to be safe and thrive in our communities.

VISION We envision communities that welcome all people, provide second chances, and create pathways to change.

VALUES 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.

We meet people right where they are, at every point in the criminal justice system and beyond, through over 20 programs in locations across the state.

We are committed to supporting whole people, whole families, and whole communities.

We serve individuals experiencing incarceration, those reentering the community, those on forms of community supervision, those formerly involved in the criminal justice system, their children, and their families.

THE PATHFINDER NETWORK

my quote "I always say . Grind.’" is ‘God. Goals — Merlin PARTICIPANT SPOTLIGHT

MERLIN YELLOWTAIL Merlin's journey with The Pathfinder Network began while incarcerated at Inverness Jail.

Facing a lengthy prison sentence, he sought change. "All I knew was I wanted to change, and I didn’t want to continue using. And all I could think about was my kids," Merlin recalls. Parenting Inside Out, taught by Don Butler, was a turning point for Merlin. "It was that class that changed my whole outlook on everything."

Recognizing his efforts, the judge granted Merlin early release to attend treatment.

He continued taking classes through The Pathfinder Network and found a sanctuary at the Center for Family Success, which provided him a safe space to rebuild relationships with his children. "I love this space," he said. "It was here that I was able to have visits with my daughters, and it was a chance for me to practice my parenting skills."

The Center team provided unwavering support, fueling Merlin's determination. "This place taught me not only to set my goals but work on them," he said.

After completing a culinary certification, Merlin landed a job at Recovery Works NW and was quickly promoted to head chef. He enjoys family time, baking cakes, and sharing his story with others. "Maybe this is part of giving back, telling my story to others who don’t know where to begin."

THE PATHFINDER NETWORK

PARTNERED IMPACT The Partnered Impact Department was created in 2023 to maximize The Pathfinder Network’s impact by building collaborative, strategic partnerships and developing innovative solutions that drive our mission forward serving system-impacted communities and helping transform systems and communities.

The PATHfinder Club, our arts-based support Club model for teens impacted by incarceration, detention, and deportation reached new heights, serving hundreds of youth in schools and in the community across the country. We were proud to release our 9th anthology, Advice to 9th Graders, through our publishing arm, Out of the Woods Press. This year we began working on an enhanced program model to be released in 2025, available to partners across the country.

Through art, expression, and community building, PATHfinder Club members pave a trail from hurt and harm to hope and healing.

Parenting Inside Out (PIO), our parenting skills program for justice-involved parents, launched partnerships in our 45th state in the US this year and initiated collaborations in states where we have yet to break ground. We are on the move, partnering with agencies across the country to serve thousands of parents and families, providing tools and skills to support parental, child and family resilience and foster connections that lead to positive outcomes for the whole family.

External Training: This year, we launched the first ever CORE Associates Training Hub at The Pathfinder Network through a partnership with CORE Associates! Trainers from The Pathfinder Network will be delivering nationally recognized training on gender-, trauma-, and culturally-responsive policies and practices and train-thetrainer experiences that build the capacity of agencies.
