Break Cycles.
Build Futures.

Empower foster youth with mentorship that transforms instability into independence and purpose.

The Struggle Foster Youth Face

When foster youth don’t get the support they need, they often fall through the cracks.

The cycles of instability, self-doubt, and lost potential continue, leaving these kids without a clear path forward.

You witness it every day.

  • Are you frustrated by a system that feels overwhelmed?

  • Does the heartbreak of seeing youth struggle weigh you down?

  • Do you wish you had a program that truly works?

Foster youth need consistent support to break free from cycles of instability and step into a future they can believe in.

With the right mentorship and tools, we can help them rewrite their stories and build lives filled with confidence, resilience, and purpose.

  • Reliable Mentorship: Pair foster youth with consistent, nurturing mentors.

  • Confidence & Resilience: Help kids overcome past trauma and step into a brighter future.

  • Scalable Solutions: Reduce system strain with programs that grow with your needs.

  • "The Purpose Project is more than a curriculum. It’s a roadmap that equips students with the tools necessary to begin asking and answering those formative questions right now, while they are young! I wish I would’ve had resources like this available to me as a student and an educator. Joe Elliot and the Catalyst team have created a needed and truly revolutionary resource that will serve students for generations to come."

  • "The Purpose Project are the tools that as an educator, a counselor, a mentor and just a person who desires to unlock the potential of the next generation needs! Having a shared language allows me to celebrate achievements, acknowledge behaviors that are in alignment with a students goals and when necessary, call out behaviors that aren’t in alignment with who they said they want to be. I am thankful for the Purpose Project tolls giving me a pathway towards the influence I seek to have with our youth."
