Purpose and Identity Processes LabFeatured initiative
Portraits of Purposeful Youth
An interactive translational initiative exploring youth purpose across personal, experiential, and contextual lenses.
Portraits examines how youth purpose is seen across a variety of roles and perspectives, drawing on developmental science, positive youth development, and identity research.
It aims to create a more accessible and participatory infrastructure for thinking about youth purpose, through interactive portraits, reflective studios, and public contributions.
It is designed to support researchers, educators, youth-serving organizations, students, families, and curious members of the public interested in the role purpose plays in human development and flourishing.
