The Power of Connection

New Pathways for Youth | Caregivers Circle

At New Pathways for Youth, we believe transformation happens within relationships — at home, with mentors, and within the broader community. Caregivers’ Circle strengthens those relationships by offering caregivers a space to reflect, grow, and build confidence in navigating their teen’s development. 

Culturally Responsive Growth

Through culturally responsive conversations and shared learning, caregivers explore how to stay connected to their teens, understand their emotional world, and navigate change in ways that honor family values and cultural traditions.

FAQ’s

New Pathways for Youth is a nonprofit organization based in Phoenix, Arizona, dedicated to transforming the lives of young people and their families. Since 1989, we have walked alongside more than 7,000 youth on their journey toward a future full of possibilities. We believe every young person deserves to grow up with joy and purpose, confident in their ability to choose their own path. That is why we don’t just work with youth; we also support the families and caregivers around them, because we know that when the whole family has the tools they need, everyone thrives together. 

Caregivers Circle is a yearlong support group in the Phoenix Valley, created especially for parents and caregivers of teenagers. It is a space where you can connect with other families going through experiences similar to yours, share without judgment, and find practical tools to strengthen your relationship with your teen. Through connection, communication, and community support, the Caregivers Circle helps you feel more confident and supported in your role as a caregiver. 

Caregivers Circle is open to any adult caring for a teen (ages 12–17) currently enrolled in our Level Up program. Whether you are a parent, grandparent, or guardian, your lived experience is valued here. No matter your background, you belong in our circle.

We meet once a month on Saturdays for a 2‑hour Caregivers Circle session, typically from 12:00–2:00 PM at our homebase at 901 E. Jefferson St. in Phoenix. Dates and times may shift based on organizational needs, and we’ll always share updates in advance. 

No, participating in the Caregivers Circle is completely free. We want to make sure no family misses out on this support for financial reasons. Your well-being and your family’s well-being are our priority.
