P.A.T.H. 〰️
As Co-Founders and Directors of P.A.T.H. (Promoting Arts, Teamwork, Hope), we believe that every individual—and every community—holds the potential to grow into their fullest selves and build a stronger future. Our not for profit is rooted in the belief that growth happens when people are given the right opportunities, the right support, and the right foundation—whether through education, leadership, infrastructure, or community development.
Together, we bring decades of experience across education, international development, engineering, infrastructure design, health, leadership training, and community empowerment. We lead with integrity, authenticity, and a deep commitment to walking alongside others—not fixing, but facilitating growth through collaboration.
Our initiatives are not positioned as solutions, but as opportunities:
opportunities for learning, for building, for leading, and for hope.
Especially in under-resourced and developing communities, we create spaces where transformation can begin—and continue—sustainably.
A Community Hub for Leadership, Learning, and Local Empowerment
We are working toward establishing a community center in Crawfish Rock that will serve as a vibrant space for youth development, environmental education, and creative expression. In partnership with Bay Island Conservation Association (BICA), Islanders for Change, and the P.A.T.H. (Promoting Arts, Teamwork, & Hope) Youth Leadership Team, this center will offer a dynamic blend of programs that nurture the mind, heart, and community spirit.
At the heart of this initiative is the belief that true transformation happens when young people are given the tools to lead, the freedom to express themselves, and the guidance to care for their environment. Through hands-on tools to lead, the freedom to express themselves, and the guidance to care for their environment. Through hands-on leadership workshops, arts-based learning, and marine and climate education, the center will connect local knowledge with global mentorship—fostering self-confidence, civic engagement, and sustainable practices.
The P.A.T.H. Initiative infuses every program with creativity—using art, music, storytelling, and teamwork to promote healing, identity, and connection. This center will be more than a building; it will be a launchpad for change makers, grounded in culture and fueled by hope.
“This experience left a lasting impact on me and made me reflect on why I want to become a teacher. Seeing firsthand how education can create change, even in places with so few resources, showed me that teaching can be a powerful force for good. It reinforced my desire to work in diverse classrooms and make sure every student, regardless of their background, feels supported and empowered to succeed. I know the lessons I learned in Honduras will stay with me as I continue my journey as an educator.”

“This internship allowed me to see the world and make an impact. I was able to share my ideas, one minute I was teaching a dance lesson and then a few minutes later I was teaching English.
The trip was educational and I learned a lot professionally but I was also given a chance to explore the island. I went to the beach, snorkeled, and visited multiple restaurants.
It was a blend of work and fun and now I am already planning to go back.”
