APPA Announces 2026 PPPS Week Challenge!

Paving A Trail of Hope - The PATHfinder Club

Art has the power to heal, connect, and transform lives. This year, APPA is proud to partner with The PATHfinder Club (TPC) — an arts-based support network empowering youth who have been impacted by incarceration, detention, and deportation.

The mission of The PATHfinder Club is to create supportive paths for youth whose lives have been impacted by incarceration, detention and deportation. They co-create a community where Club members feel comfortable and confident to stay in school and graduate, set and achieve goals, expand their resilience, conquer challenges, embrace opportunities for healing and self-expression and connect in meaningful ways with their peers, loved ones and their community.

The PATHfinder Club includes a network of Clubs serving youth in a variety of settings across the country, working together towards their mission.
