About Pathfinders

Pathfinders are a worldwide organization of young people sponsored by the Seventh-day Adventist Church, though young people of any religious persuasion, or none at all, are welcome and encouraged to join the organization. In 1999, the first Southern Asian Pathfinder Club in North America was formed at the Southern Asian SDA Church.

Pathfinders offer a wide range of activities including, but not limited to: Camping & camping/survival skills Grade appropriate leadership training

Activities promoting community pride & involvement through outreach activities such as helping in downtown soup kitchens, collecting food for the disadvantaged, cleaning & maintaining city and county parks, visiting and encouraging the elderly, and MANY more

Interactive training in a variety of recreational, artistic, nature, conservation, vocational, and outreach areas, with awards (honors) given for successful completion of the interactive training modules

Personal care and encouragement by a caring staff member! While many school classrooms have 10-30 students per teacher, Pathfinders offers AT LEAST a 1 staff member to every 5 Pathfinder ratio!

Pathfinders leads its members into a growing, redemptive, relationship with God.  We want to build Ladies and Gentlemen that are responsible, mature and actively involved in selfless service for Christ. By involving the youth in a four-fold program of spiritual, mental, recreational, and social activities, our Pathfinder club’s directors and associates will guide them up the ladder of character growth.

Club membership is available to any young person 10 – 15 years of age, regardless of race or religion. The Teen Leadership Training (TLT) program works closely with the Pathfinder program and is for high school students (grades 11-12). Staff positions are available in many locations that offer adults the opportunity to make a difference for young people, develop friendships with fellow staff, learn more about God's creation, and improve their training skill.
