Pathways to Manhood is creating a positive future for boys and families. All boys need what Pathways provides. With some this may be highly evident, they may be lacking in motivation, dropping out of school, undertaking high risk behaviours and turning to violence, feeling angry, confused or lost, many have no one to turn to for friendship or guidance. All boys benefit from pathways, even when their need is not so evident. Many teens now create their own passages in gangs, alcohol and fast cars, all primarily without the guidance of fathers and elders. One result is a dramatic increase in male suicide. Camps are aimed at young males (approx 12-15) together with their fathers, step fathers, uncles, grandfathers or mentors. It is possible for young men to come unaccompanied (we will try to provide a mentor) and there is no necessity for blood relation between "father" and son. Pathways key values are respect, responsibility and awareness. Each camp lives these values in everything we do. Boys are honoured and welcomed into the masculine journey, into a community of men. We explore what it is to be a man and help each young man seek his individuality, purpose, and value. Pathways partners with boys, parents, schools, communities, interested professionals, future facilitators, philanthropists and government to make Pathways available wherever it is needed. We especially invite contact from schools, local communities, individuals, men interested in training to facilitate ... all who want to get Pathways happening for the boys in their community.
