Britepaths expresses the customized mentoring approach we take in conducting our self-sufficiency programs. For each client, we believe that there is no single, ‘right’ path.

We are so grateful to everyone who has been supporting our work, and we hope you will join us in embracing our new name and be inspired to take part as we continue helping those among us who are struggling move from a place of need to one of true self-sufficiency.” Learn more about Britepaths at: http://britepaths.org.
