Pathways Empowerment Solutions

"LLighting the Way Forward for Those Who Serve and Persevere"

Pathways Empowerment Solutions (PES) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to rebuilding lives and restoring independence for individuals facing disabling diagnoses and traumatic experiences. Our mission is to empower people living with low vision or blindness, stroke recovery needs, hearing impairment, and PTSD—with a special focus on military veterans, first responders, and public servants—to rediscover purpose, dignity, and self-sufficiency.

Through rehabilitation programs, adaptive technology training, peer mentorship, and vocational empowerment initiatives, PES creates an environment where participants can regain not only their abilities but their confidence and community connection.

Vision Statement

To create a nation where every individual who has experienced life-altering disability or trauma finds a clear pathway to independence, purpose, and peace.

Mission Statement

Pathways Empowerment Solutions exists to equip, educate, and empower individuals who have faced disabling diagnoses or traumatic service experiences. We provide the resources, training, and emotional support necessary to help them navigate new challenges and reclaim their personal and professional lives.

Core Values

  • Dignity – Every person deserves respect, regardless of physical or emotional limitations.

  • Empowerment – We don’t remove obstacles; we teach individuals how to rise above them.

  • Integrity – We uphold the highest standards of ethics in all interactions.

  • Service – We honor those who have served by serving them in return.

  • Community – Healing happens through connection and shared strength.
