Company Overview
Pathfinders empowers youth in crisis to make positive life choices, providing some of the Milwaukee area’s most comprehensive programming for youth in crisis, through housing & shelter, education, family engagement and youth empowerment.
Pathfinders was established in 1970 and incorporated as a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization in 1973. Pathfinders’ mission is to empower youth in crisis to make positive life choices, which will ensure that youth, ages 25 and under in the greater Milwaukee area who are confronted by crisis or trauma, are safe and connected in order to develop a path towards successful adulthood and healthier families. Our vision is to provide a more meaningful voice for youth in crisis, empowering them to make positive life choices through a strengthened and expanded continuum of care.
