What is Noble Purpose?
Finding our purpose or “noble purpose” is a process of self-discovery of how we may fit into our community and the world in a meaningful way. With this awareness, we can focus on altruistic intentions that stretch beyond our personal lives to improve the world around us.
Our Guiding Purpose
Pathways of Purpose (POP) empowers underserved youth and communities with our asset-based, STEAM educational and vocational programs.
Why is developing a sense of purpose important?
The construction of a noble purpose in adolescence has been proven to be connected to other positive social assets that help young people flourish and are optimal for healthy development including: meaning, self- understanding, identity, engagement in meaningful activities, altruism, and pro-social behavior (Moran, et al., 2012). Dr. Susanne Sarley added resilience and crystallizing experiences to the related assets through her research work (Sarley 2017).
