About Wayfinder Schools

Wayfinder Schools is a nonprofit alternative high school serving teen parents and other Maine youth who need a second chance at high school graduation. Each year we serve 65 Maine youth through our Passages home-based high school diploma program. Passages serves students ages 14-20 in eight Maine counties (Knox, Lincoln, Waldo, Sagadahoc, Androscoggin, York, Cumberland and Washington) who are facing challenges that keep them from attending traditional high school.

Your donation in support of one the Finding Our Way Down East participants will help more Maine youth graduate from high school and make a better future for themselves and their families. Your generosity ensures we can continue to stay connected to students during and after Covid, delivering food and supplies to their doorsteps, supporting them online and by phone, safely working with them outside and in their homes, and keeping them on track for graduation. We hope you will help us reach our goal of $23,000 in honor of our next graduating class, the class of 2023!

“I’m really glad that I was able to experience the Passages Program. I’ve learned many skills, tips, and tricks that have helped me with my life now and will help me later in life too… I’m thankful to have attended this school and to all the great teachers for their help and resources.” - Sierra Page Leigh, Rockland 2021 Graduate

“This experience has been amazing, to say the least...I have created a bond with my teacher and I feel as though I have someone I can discuss not only school with but life, too. I have learned and grown so much during my time in Passages. It’s almost unbelievable that I am finally a graduate.” - Chelsea, Bath 2021 Graduate
