"2nd chances, structure & power of community."
Learn more about our history and how we got started. We are passionate about empowering communities and making a difference in people's lives.
New Pathway Enterprise Inc. is more than just a nonprofit — it’s a movement toward hope, growth, and purpose. We are a new, grassroots organization in Portland, Oregon, created to support young men ages 18–25 as they navigate the complex transition from incarceration, foster care, or homelessness into stable, empowered living.
With a focus on housing, mentorship, reentry support, and wellness, our programs aim to change lives one step at a time. We partner with personal trainers, wellness mentors, and peer coaches to support the physical and mental health of each resident.
This is not just a place to stay — it’s a place to grow, thrive, and begin again.
We’re a young organization with a powerful mission — and we need champions like you to make it happen.
Whether you’re a community member, business owner, case worker, or someone who simply believes in second chances, there are many ways to contribute:
Volunteer your time or skills (mentorship, teaching, fitness, admin)
Sponsor a resident’s housing for a week or a month
Donate hygiene kits, clothing, or household supplies
Partner as an employer, trainer, or service provider
Your involvement plants the seed of change. Together, we build pathways that last.
To provide safe housing, mentorship, and holistic support to young men in transition — supporting their journey to independence through structure, compassion, and opportunity.
At New Pathway Enterprise, we believe that everyone deserves a chance to reset, rebuild, and rise. Our program supports the full person — emotionally, physically, and mentally — because success means more than just a roof. It means healing, purpose, and a community that believes in you.
*82% of residents maintain housing after 90 days

Every dollar, every volunteer hour, and every referral helps us move one step closer to ending cycles of instability.
We are a small but mighty nonprofit doing big work — and your support makes the difference.
As a new organization, your donation doesn't get lost — it becomes visible impact. It pays for beds. Food. Bus passes. Work clothes. It pays for healing.

Join us in building the next chapter for Portland’s young men.
Helping young men ages 18- 25 build stable, empowered lives after incarceration, foster care, and homelessness.
Next Pathway Enterprise Inc. is a non profit based in Portland, Oregon. Through our flagship program, Next Chapter Living, we provide transitional housing, mentorship, and reentry services to system impacted young men. Our clean, structured housing and peer-led model help residents reclaim stability, purpose, and independence.
Kevin Woods founded Next Pathway Enterprise Inc. out of lived experience, love for community, and a deep understanding of the barriers young men face after incarceration or hardship. As a mentor, peer leader, and father, Kevin brings both heart and hands-on knowledge to this mission.
His goal is simple: provide what he wished had existed for him — a safe space with structure, support, and people who NEVER give up.
At Next Pathway Enterprise Inc., we believe in building bridges that support physical, emotional, and mental well-being. That’s why we’re proud to partner with the Strong City Initiative — a community-led fitness movement offering free workouts designed to uplift, unite, and empower.
“When young men step into our program, they’re not just rebuilding their lives — they’re rebuilding their confidence. That’s why our partnership with Strong City Initiative means so much. Together, we’re redefining wellness from the inside out — one rep, one step, one win at a time.”
Together, Strong City Initiative and Next Pathway Enterprise Inc. are building a model of community wellness — where movement is medicine, consistency creates confidence, and mentorship shows up not just in meetings, but in motion. Our collaboration puts purpose behind every workout.
Your generous donations help us provide essential services to those in need. Every contribution makes a difference and allows us to continue our important work in the community. Join us in making a positive impact!
