The Pathfinder Club is a worldwide program organized and directed by the Youth Department of the General Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. It offers a wide range of learning experiences for young people 10 to 15 years of age (and older) and is operated by the local Seventh-day Adventist church under the direction and control of the local conference youth director.Once a Pathfinder reaches the age of 16, he or she can decide whether or not to continue on to the Master Guide program. The Master Guide program is more independent, requires more effort and self motivation than the other levels, and its requirements focus on witnessing and leadership more than individual skills. This class was designed to train youth leaders in the basic skills of youth ministry and leadership.
