a fresh start with a good job.
Our employment program enables people who need a job or simply just new skills to work hard in a great environment.
Our team are exceptional at what they do. Many of our workers have gone on to get great jobs after getting the right skills from our work programs.
We also place many released prisoners in work spaces around Canterbury. If you have space available - we have someone willing to work.
a fresh start and a new outlook.
Our Christchurch based prisoner reintegration program supports men wanting to move away from harmful choices and start over.
Our team of social workers provide a service that gets to the heart of the complex issues that lead to crime, and replaces them with strategies for a new life.
The results speak for themselves, men who work with Pathway Reintegration are 43% less likely to be re-imprisoned after 12 months than men who do not.
We are winning the fight and through helping one life at a time, we make the community a safer place.
a fresh start with real affordability.
Our affordable housing division is pretty self explanatory. Our goal is simply to help people living in Christchurch afford a house and we have a few options to make that happen.
We know that helping people get into a house they can truly call their own, helps a family in many profound ways.
A new location is one way to help initiate a fresh start - we love how this new arm of the pathway group is changing lives and making a difference in the community.
Mentoring is an exciting part of the Pathway story. Our team of mentors work to provide one on one relational mentoring - and it works! People need people to talk with, share with and get wisdom from, our mentors are the cornerstone of new foundations being built. We are always looking for new mentors to walk alongside a released prisoner needing the encouragement of someone else.
a fresh start before leaving the prison gates.
The Navigate Initiative is a new innovation under development by Pathway. It is a project to launch a pre-release unit at Christchurch Men's Prison with the goal of helping men prepare for life outside through comprehensive support in the areas of health, education, counselling, restorative justice and key life skills. If approved, it will run in partnership with the Department of Corrections and in collaboration with other community organisations. Find out how you can help.
