About The Pathfinder Network

The Pathfinder Network provides justice system-impacted individuals and families with the tools and support they need to be safe and thrive in our communities. We offer programs and services for incarcerated individuals through the Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) and for parents, children and families in the community. Since its founding in 1993, The Pathfinder Network has expanded from its initial work as contractor with ODOC to a multifaceted agency offering evidence-based programs that are culturally-, gender- and trauma- responsive in corrections and community settings. Collectively, our programs have served more than 40,000 justice-involved individuals and their families. We provide evidence-based, cutting-edge programming focused on supporting positive changes and reducing recidivism. The programs we offer through ODOC include Parenting Inside Out®, Cognitive-behavioral interventions: Free Your Mind-CORE, Moving On: a gender-responsive curriculum for women, Free Your Mind in Prison and Free Your Mind in Segregation prevention and intervention programming, and Trauma coping skills groups. We offer programs and services for individuals transitioning out of prison and on parole and probation in partnership with community corrections agencies around Oregon: Cognitive-behavioral programs for Transition from Jail to Community (TJC) Program at the Marion County Transition Center, and Resilience & Recovery Project Peer Mentor Program in Jackson County. At our Center for Family Success in East Multnomah County, we deliver no-cost, holistic, community-based services for systems-impacted adults and their children. The programs we offer at the Center include parenting classes, early childhood home visiting, advocacy, youth mentoring, trauma coping skills groups, adult peer mentoring, reentry support, and family engagement activities.
