Pathways For Achievement was established by Dr. Langlas in 1996 with the goal of providing Tae Kwon-Do training to youth and families in need, and regardless of ability to pay. Donations are essential to keep Pathways’ program alive, and provide scholarships for reduced cost or free training. The organization is dedicated to making sure that everyone has the opportunity to take part in the benefits of Tae Kwon-Do training. Pathways Taekwon-Do does not focus on making great fighters, but rather providing a safe and supportive environment where students can develop into productive members of their community. Instructors take into account the individual needs of each student, regardless of age or ability, and provide instruction that is tailored to their skills and goals. The mission of Pathways Taekwon-Do is to create an environment for participants to learn, grow, and give back to their communities. With the generous donations of supporters, the program is able to provide scholarships and ensure that all participants, regardless of financial ability, are able to experience the benefits of Tae Kwon-Do.
