Who we are
Pathfinders NT is the Northern Territory’s first certified social enterprise. We are dedicated to supporting young people to thrive. Our mission is to empower and uplift youth, particularly those from marginalised and disadvantaged backgrounds, by creating consistent, long-term opportunities for growth, wellbeing, and employment. We provide trauma-informed, strengths-based programs that recognise and celebrate the diversity of the Territory.
Our vision is a Northern Territory that recognises and celebrates the uniqueness, diversity and cultural resilience of its young people, amplifying their voices to lead and inspire change.
Our mission is to redefine the narrative surrounding young people across the Northern Territory by empowering and supporting them to unlock their full potential and achieve their dreams.
