Purpose Commons aims to build a world where all youth have the opportunity to cultivate purpose.
Having a sense of purpose yields immense physical and emotional benefits, particularly when cultivated and supported in young people.*
The Purpose Commons is a dynamic learning network where collaborators across the youth development ecosystem work together on projects that put the science of purpose to work for young people.
From youth contribution, to mental health, activism, and identity, we aim to build partnerships around topics that help all of us learn together about how to best nurture a sense of purpose and possibility for all young people.
Having a sense of purpose can positively impact health and wellness, social connection, creativity, academic success, and resilience.*
