What is SetPath?
SetPath gives young adults the guidance, tools, and determination to live a more purposeful life.
We’re more than just goal setting. We’re about life setting. A goal is something you set out to achieve; when you reach it, it’s done. We’re in it for the long haul. We’re committed to helping young adults navigate the ever-changing journey of life with a comprehensive plan. Too often younger people are thrown off course by The Drift—an invisible force that pulls you down and makes you doubt yourself and your purpose. SetPath gets you back on track.
Everyone has a purpose and a calling—we’re here to help you tune into yours.
Daniel Harkavy
Founder & President
For the past two and a half decades, Daniel has led a team of executive coaches who help business leaders to better lead themselves, their teams, and their organizations.
Along with coaching thousands of leaders through this process, he co-authored Living Forward which is now helping people create these life plans in more than 20 languages.
As he walked older people through this process, he heard two common remarks. “This is life changing” and, “I wish someone would have introduced me to this when I was in my 20’s”. And so, SetPath was created, to help younger people who feel lost find a path.
Daniel and his wife Sheri have always had a passion and felt a calling to mentor young adults as they head into this defining decade of life. In 2020, they felt it was the time to make this stage of life planning and mentoring a reality. Daniel serves SetPath by being an advocate, spokesperson and co-founder—and holds the official title of ‘dad’ to Dylan and Wesley.
Paul Hogan
Chief Hope Officer
A high school educator for over three decades, Paul has dedicated his personal and professional life to helping young people achieve their potential. After 28 years at Jesuit High in Portland, including a decade as Principal, Paul came to SetPath as Chief Hope Officer in January of 2022.
Says Paul, “Watching high schoolers become deeply concerned about the world and their own uncertain futures, I became convinced of the urgent need for SetPath. By utilizing our LifePlan and meeting with our skilled, caring mentors, young people are finding purpose, hope, and direction. We aim to make SetPath available worldwide, free of charge, for tens of thousands of young adults—which will make for a better world for ALL of us!”
Paul loves working with young people. In addition to being a longtime high school teacher and administrator, he has been a youth coach, Sunday School teacher, and trustee for organizations that serve young adults, including Edison High School, University of Oregon’s Enrollment Advisory Board, and the Children’s Cancer Association.
