Can YOU Help?

Holiday Giving

Volunteer!

Pathway relies on a dedicated group of volunteers who enhance our programs, assist in administrative duties, host donation drives, and mentor Pathway children and teens. Our volunteers offer a special skill set that allows them to relate and empathize with our children, promoting trust and healing.

If you or your group are interested in volunteering, contact Deborah Garrott, Pathway Volunteer and Donor Services Director, at or 330.818.0416.

Current Holiday Giving and Volunteer Needs
