At Creating Pathways, we believe in the transformative power of community. Our mission is to bridge gaps and foster empowerment across the neighborhoods we serve. Through the dedication of our passionate team of professionals and volunteers, we offer hands-on support, personalized guidance, and steadfast advocacy.
Recognizing the demands of an ever-evolving world, we integrate digital and financial literacy into all our programs and services — because true access isn’t just important, it’s essential
Core Programs Include:
Housing Wellness: uniquely focused on serving individuals who often face layered discrimination and barriers within traditional housing and veteran services. We recognize the importance of intersectionality in creating effective, targeted support. The Honoring Ancestors, Securing Futures Initiative is a specialized, culturally responsive housing and wellness program dedicated to addressing the critical, disproportionate rates of housing instability and unique systemic challenges faced by highly underserved populations: Native Veterans, 2Spirit/LGBTQIA+ Veterans of Color, Tribal Elders, and Seniors (aged 55+).
Financial Wellness: a trauma-informed, culturally responsive initiative designed to address the specific economic vulnerabilities and unique financial goals of Native Veterans, 2Sprit/LGBTQIA+ Veterans, Tribal Elders, and Seniors. This program moves beyond conventional financial literacy by integrating the principles of self-determination, inter-generational wealth preservation, and cultural continuity. We recognize that historical policies, systemic barriers, and minority stress have created disproportionate financial challenges for these populations. Our coaching ensures dignity and confidentiality, empowering participants to navigate complex benefit systems, manage wealth, and secure their legacies with confidence.
Náatsk: a comprehensive, community-driven initiative dedicated to the revitalization of Pacific Northwest Native American and Alaska Native languages and cultural arts. Recognizing the interconnections of language, identity, and economic sovereignty, this program integrates rigorous language instruction with traditional arts mentorship, critical digital literacy, and focused training in creative entrepreneurship and financial stability. The goal is to cultivate a new generation of fluent speakers, culturally grounded artists, and digitally capable leaders who can successfully sustain their heritage and generate economic value from their traditional practices in the modern world.
Digital Wellness: Digital Literacy Skills will be woven into all program curricula, moving beyond basic computer use to foster digital fluency and online safety.
