Want a job where what you do today could change someone's tomorrow?

At Pathway Family Services, we're looking for caring, dependable adults who are ready to make a real difference in the lives of youth who need someone in their corner.

No counseling degree? No problem.

No previous youth care experience? We can teach that.

What we can't teach is a kind heart, a positive attitude, and a desire to help young people succeed.

If you've got those things, we want to meet you.

Perfect for future teachers, social workers, counselors, criminal justice professionals, psychology majors, behavioral health workers, and anyone looking for meaningful work that makes a difference.
