Admin and Principle
Marchand Vorderstrasse
Marchand Vorderstrasse is a nonprofit practitioner and program leader with deep experience in frontline service delivery, program development, event planning, and management. She holds formal education in Human Services and Criminal Justice, which shapes her people-centered, systems-aware approach to community work.
In addition to her work with Pathfinder Collective, Marchand directs the Mobile Outreach Program for the Salvation Army Coos Bay Corps, overseeing frontline outreach efforts that connect individuals experiencing homelessness with services, resources, and pathways to stability. This role keeps her closely connected to on-the-ground realities and informs her practical, compassionate approach to systems-building and program design.
Pathfinder Collective was Marchand’s idea, born out of years of hands-on experience supporting organizations, building programs, and watching leaders struggle without practical guidance. Her vision was to create a family-led practice that shares hard-earned knowledge, supports people doing the work, and helps organizations build systems that function in the real world.
Over the course of her career, Marchand has worked directly with individuals and families while helping design and manage programs that are both effective and sustainable. She brings a strong operational lens to Pathfinder Collective’s work, bridging the gap between strategy and day-to-day execution.
Marchand also plays a key role in fundraising event planning and donor engagement, helping organizations translate their mission into experiences and stories that resonate with supporters. As a founding partner, she anchors the work in lived experience and shared values, raising her family alongside this work and reinforcing the belief that community impact is something built together and passed forward.
