Training for Track
One of our important values here at Pathways is movement. It is so important to get up and stay active because of the positive physical and mental health impacts.

Pathways raises more than $81,000 for a new shuttle bus
Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of the Tulsa community, Pathways has raised more than $81,000 toward a new shuttle which will include a wheelchair lift.

Favorite Recipes
For many, the path to independence starts in the kitchen and cooking classes have been a part of Pathways since the beginning. Recipes are developed that could be recreated at home with little to no supervision. These classes also help students explore new foods and discover new flavors.

Pathways lessons range from music to math to the art of conversation. Here are the student voted top 10 Pathways lessons.
Mentoring Matters
