A Magical Metamorphosis

From Entrapment…

Abuse. Assault. Abandonment. Addiction.

These are the histories of the young women in the Pathways to Independence program.

Some found themselves in gangs. Others in prison.Some remain trapped in the confines
of an abusive family or painful addiction.Society had given up on many of them.

But they hadn’t given up on themselves.They were ready to take a different path,
and Pathways was there to guide them.

to Empowerment…

Therapy. Mentorship. Education. Support.

These are the bywords for this groundbreaking organization founded and led by Dave Bishop

– A man who first had to conquer his own internal demons.

Pathways’ motto is to focus on what’s right in the world: Caring people. Its all-volunteer network

of therapists, doctors, mentors, and even mechanics provide this support these girls

had never experienced – and allows them to flourish.

The butterfly symbology is derived from the famous parable about utilizing life’s

struggles to emerge a stronger person. These young women’s incredible journeys from

darkness into light will elicit both tears of sorrow and tears of joy.

Hope. Freedom. Success. Independence.

These are the gifts of pathways.
