Potential is a measure of what could be, not a guarantee of what will be. Students who are able to step into their potential do so by obtaining a deeper connection to their identity, purpose and sense of belonging. When confidence and clarity around who they are, why they are here, and where they fit in is achieved, anything is possible.But unlocking a teen's potential is not easy. As an educator or mentor, we know you want to help your students reach their full potential but you may feel unqualified and unsupported, even frustrated. You start to wonder if you have what it takes to guide your students to success. Can we encourage you a bit? The truth is, it is overwhelming and at times frustrating. Students can be apathetic, unmotivated, distracted, sometimes recovering from trauma and abuse. They are waiting for a spark, a catalyst, something that can ignite a new level of passion and resilience within them.For the past 10 years, we have helped thousands of teens unlock their potential using the Purpose Project framework. The Purpose Project student edition blends the best practices of social and emotional learning, restorative practices and trauma informed care strategies into one powerful learning experience. This curriculum will take students on a journey of self discovery that will reveal:Major themes and strengths found in their unique designMultiple paths they can pursue to develop their gifts and passionsHow to put goals and strategies in place to take immediate action How to stay focused and motivated even when life gets complicatedUpon completion of this curriculum, each student will receive additional support from our highly trained staff and Certified Purpose Project Guides at the Catalyst Collective.
