WHO WE ARE

Since 1993, The Pathfinder Network (TPN) has been providing justice-system impacted individuals and their families the tools and support they need to be safe and thrive in our communities. We serve individuals experiencing incarceration, those reentering the community, those on forms of community supervision, their families, and their children, within 9 of Oregon’s 11 corrections facilities and in the community in Multnomah, Jackson, Marion, and Clackamas Counties. We develop and deliver a comprehensive scope of evidence-based, trauma-, gender- and culturally-responsive cognitive behavioral-based programs, including our proprietary, evidence-based curriculum Parenting Inside Out, which is the highest-rated parenting skills curriculum for parents involved with the criminal justice system. Our community programs feature holistic wraparound individual and group support and services. We serve an average of 3,000 people a year agency-wide. We show up for our employees by providing support and resources in six key areas that make up our total package, and we always strive to expand on what we offer: compensation, development, wellness, benefits, recognition and service. This includes: Generous paid time off (12 accrued vacation days + 12 accrued sick days during your first year of employment, mental wellness hours) 17 paid days of significance each year Extended holiday days of significance with a week off at the end of the year and 3 4-day weekends Paid 30-minute lunch breaks Employer-paid employee-only medical, vision and dental coverage starting first day of employment Flexible Spending Account, Dependent Care Assistance Program, and employer-funded Lifestyle Spending Account 401k retirement plan with 3% employer match, fully vested immediately Employer-paid short-term disability and accidental death and dismemberment Supplemental virtual healthcare for employees and dependents Employment with TPN may mean you are eligible for Public Service Student Loan forgiveness Employee recognition program, staff appreciation awards and swag store Bilingual pay differential for eligible positions Shared Leadership model and opportunities to contribute to agency success and growth Development opportunities and trainings We are intentional about building a healthy and thriving organizational culture and envision a community of staff, partners, volunteers, and donors who are deeply committed to equitable, just and anti-racist practices in every facet of our organization.

We believe every member on our team enriches our diversity by exposing us to a broad range of ways to understand and engage with the world, identify challenges, and to discover, design and deliver solutions. At TPN, we envision communities that welcome all people, provide second chances, and create pathways to change. We believe all people have the capacity to change.
