our programs
If creating a healthy, resilient, and sustainable community was a one-person job, we’d have finished the work long ago. In reality, the work is too large of an undertaking for any one person or even one organization. That’s why PATH brings together many volunteers, professionals, and organizations to achieve our vision of vibrant communities of active, healthy children and families. We approach our vision through the creation and implementation of programs targeted toward members of all ages and abilities across Mitchell and Yancey Counties.
healthy lifestyles
Most people recognize how important healthy living is, but actually adopting a healthy lifestyle can feel like a chore. PATH’s Healthy Lifestyles programs help community members to incorporate healthful activities into their busy lives by making it easy and, dare we say, even fun. PATH is committed to introducing physical activities people can and want to do for a lifetime.
substance use prevention
As beautiful and vibrant and Mitchell and Yancey Counties are, our residents still face many of the issues affecting the rest of the country. Substance use and addiction is a growing challenge we take very seriously at PATH. We take an approach that includes awareness, education, advocacy, prevention, and an emphasis on community-based recovery.
community ambassador real equality (CARE Team)
Community Ambassador Real Equality, also known as CARE Team, is a group of bilingual, bicultural Hispanic/Latino ambassadors focused on supporting and advocating for the needs of their communities in Yancey and Mitchell counties. Additionally, they work to foster unity and understanding within the larger local community while sharing their cultural heritage.
