We see a community that comes together in support of one another, where challenges are overcome with information, the right support, and community discussion.
Our mission is to support the community in need by empowering individuals with information and actionable processes to foster forward movement and strengthen the broader community.
Current Projects
Pathways to Agency was formed with the vision of bringing much needed information and understanding about what resources are available in our community, supporting individuals with navigating strategies, organization, and intricacies of administrative processes to achieve their goals, and to generate open discussion between the community, leaders, and innovators in order to find solutions and celebrate wins together, growing from a common vision.
Resource Report
Our currently active project is a pre-recorded radio program, Resource Report, that shares deeper, more pertinent information about existing and emerging non profits and resource organizations, as well as making that information more receivable and accessible to under-resourced individuals through free, printed zines, and regular updates to our website and archived episodes on our podcast hosting platform. Resource Report can be heard on KAOS 89.3FM Olympia, a service of the Evergreen State College.
Resource Report airs the 1st & 3rd Wednesday of every month!
ZINES, featuring the transcript of each show, offers unique accessibility, and are ALWAYS FREE! Here are some of our distribution locations:
In Olympia:
Olympia Timberland Library (you can also check out the latest copy, as well as grab a free one on the zine rack!), Peer Olympia, SafePlace, Planned Parenthood, Eastside and Westside Olympia Food Co-op, Orca Books, Olympia Union Gospel Mission, Family Support Center, Last Word Books, and Gabby’s Cards and Comics
In Chehalis and Centralia:
