Pathways became a reality on May 8, 1992, when Pathways Youth Home received a license to operate as an independent therapeutic foster family home for six boys in Leakey, Texas. 

Over the next 15 years, Pathways services expanded across the state of Texas with in-home services, foster care, adoption, residential care, and behavioral health. 

Pathways Youth and Family Services’ mission of transforming lives, families, and communities has been successful, by providing foster care and adoption services to more than 10,000 children and permanently placing an additional 4,000 more with a forever family.

Pathways fulfills its vision of thriving children, resilient families, and strong communities through a holistic delivery of well-developed and appropriate services. With invaluable experience and a firm understanding of the proven practices and regulatory requirements that ground an organization in the communities it serves, Pathways’ values are rooted in, “excellence, diversity, innovation, integrity, compassion, collaboration, inspiration, persistence, respect, and empowerment.”

Our programs include:
     Foster Care & Adoption
     Mosaic Behavioral Health
     3H Youth Ranch
     Habilitative Homes

Today, Pathways has offices in Austin, Abilene, Dallas, Houston, Clear Lake, Kerrville, Odessa, Mountain Home, and San Antonio.
