A community-based youth leadership initiative of the Central Alabama Marines-Council
Project Pathfinder is a community-based youth education and leadership initiative serving young people and families across central Alabama. Through summer camps, enrichment programming, and partnerships with local businesses, community based organizations, law enforcement, first responders, university systems, and other veteran-service organizations, Project Pathfinder helps young people build character, confidence, and a lasting sense of purpose.
Project Pathfinder is not a stand-alone company. It is a dedicated program division of Central Alabama Marines-Council, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2024 to support military and veteran families throughout central Alabama. Project Pathfinder is the registered trade name (d/b/a) under which Central Alabama Marines delivers its youth programming, so every Pathfinder program, partnership, and position is backed by the governance, accountability, and mission of its parent organization.
Project Pathfinder is overseen by the Central Alabama Marines-Council’s Board of Directors and operates under the same financial controls, reporting, and compliance standards as the nonprofit corporation.
Grants, sponsorships, and partnership agreements for Project Pathfinder are entered into and administered by Central Alabama Marines-Council, giving funders and partners an established nonprofit to work with.
Positions advertised under the Project Pathfinder name, including camp staff, program management, communications, and digital strategy roles, are hired and managed through Central Alabama Marines-Council’s Human Capital Management System.
