BluePrint for Success

Why Purpose Matters?

Many young people today are  drifting through life with high ambitions, but no actionable plan to achieve their dreams. Only about one in five young people have  expressed a clear vision of where they wanted to go, what they wanted to accomplish in life and why. 

 

Our Blueprint for Success is a broad roadmap to help youth discover their purpose, develop their identity,  and give their lives significance. 

We believe that when youth know who they are and understand their place in the world, they will make better choices that lead to a more focused and  fulfilled life.

 

How do we help our youth discover purpose?

• We introduce young people to new ways of seeing the world and themselves.

• We provide  spaces for young people to develop life skills while learning new things.

• We encourage them to pursue their  aspirations and provide access to the necessary resources to achieve their dreams.

• We help young people develop the tools to manage their own emotions.

• We expose youth to something new that helps them develop their own sense of purpose.
