ThirdPath Institute

ThirdPath Institute is a Philadelphia based non-profit that assists individuals, families, and organizations in finding new ways to redesign work to create time for family, community and other life priorities.
We have found that people are deeply motivated to make change when their family's well-being is on the line. In fact, we believe one of the most powerful ways to create workable solutions for many of today's challenges - such as the growing income gap, decreased job security, greater time spent working, and cuts in public support systems - is to develop solutions in collaboration with the families who are on the front lines of these challenges.
Long-term our goal is to organize individuals, families and communities to influence larger systemic change - both within organizations and at the public policy level. Together with other likeminded people, we will shape a future where no person is required to choose between work and children, work and an aging parent, work and community involvement, or work and some other life interest. Instead, people will be able to follow a "third path," one that allows them to integrate work with other life priorities.
