A Year-Long Journey in Self-Awareness & Growth
Purpose
Our Pathways program is a transformative year-long journey designed to guide and empower teenage boys in and around Asheville, North Carolina as they navigate the complexities and challenges of adolescence. Our supportive environment helps to foster healthy development through practical life skills, emotional intelligence, resilience, self-awareness, and more, helping participants build a strong sense of self and form positive relationships.
By integrating experiential learning, group discussions, and reflective practices, Pathways equips teens with essential tools and skills to understand their emotions, foster meaningful connections, build healthy relationships, and develop a strong, positive sense of self. Our goal is to support teen boys to become responsible, compassionate young men as they transition into adulthood.
Our current program is enrolling for teen boys ages 14-17. We are also planning to start another group for 13-15 year olds; please reach out if you’re interested!
This structured approach provides a holistic development experience for Asheville teens, equipping them with the necessary skills and knowledge to thrive as young adults.
