The Pathways Foundation is an Australian non-profit organisation aiming to provide boys and girls with a contemporary rite of passage to manhood or womanhood.
Their most popular program is the Pathways to Manhood camp at which over two thousand boys aged 12–16 have so far completed.
The creators of the programme believed that boys need a large range of adult men to act as role models, confidants, mentors and friends to enable them do develop and discover their male identity and grow into helpful and respected members of society.
The Young Stars program is designed for fathers and their sons aged 6–10 years.
This program is not a rite of passage, but quality time fathers can spend with their sons.
