What Is Pathways?

The Pathways learning experience is an interactive and flexible education program like no other. It was created to help you strengthen your communication and leadership skills as you grow toward personal and professional success—all while having fun with others in the process! Take this journey and partake in:

  • The opportunity to build more than 300 unique skillset competencies

  • 6 specialized learning paths (original 11 paths still available for those in the legacy program)

    • Dynamic Leadership

    • Engaging Humor

    • Motivational Strategies

    • Presentation Mastery

    • Persuasive Influence

    • Visionary Communication

  • Online content, affording you to learn anytime, anywhere

  • Real-world, transferable skills

The new and improved Base Camp launched in October 2024 with enhancements designed to provide:

  • An easier time navigating the system, launching paths, and working through projects

  • Automatic submissions of level and path completions for recognition in Club Central

  • The ability to access Pathways on a mobile device

  • A system and content that are accessible to members who use assistive technology, such as screen readers

  • The ability to share educational accomplishments directly to social media
