"I’ll admit I was skeptical at first. It’s easy for people to promise change while they’re incarcerated. But over time, I saw genuine growth in [Dad]. [Parenting Inside Out] helped him recognize the weight of his choices and how much responsibility I had been carrying alone." —A co-parent's perspective

For years, Madge Woods has shown up for the young people at The Pathfinder Network, and we are so grateful.

As a long-time supporter of The PATHfinder Club and the sponsor of our annual Anthology, Madge understands something powerful: that when young people are given tools, a community, and the support of those who believe in them, remarkable things happen.

Her generosity doesn't just fund programs. It sends a message to every youth we serve that their voice matters.

We are deeply grateful for Madge's enduring commitment to this work and to the young people at the heart of it. Thank you, Madge, for walking alongside us.

“When I first walked into the doors of [The Pathfinder Network] and saw everything they were doing, I knew this place was for me. I see that they encourage people to thrive, whatever that looks like for them. It’s a system of caring that I hadn’t seen before; this is my first exposure to a group of people who really have service in mind and are so helpful in the communities they serve.” —Madge Woods

Wishing a heartfelt National to all our dedicated peers, partners, and friends who tirelessly uplift and support others! Peer support is powerful!
