They’re based on the latest, evolving research in education, health and wellness, neuroscience, and developmental psychology. Through games, challenges, quests, hands-on activities, and guided inquiry, youth deepen resilience while having fun. Each <a href="http://www.personalexcellence.org" target="_blank">QUEST</a> helps them connect with themselves, others, and the world.</p><p dir="ltr">If the young person in question is 14 or older, you can schedule them for a <a href="http://www.purposepro.org/students" target="_blank">Purpose Project Private Workshop</a> that will help them tap into their unique design in a matter of hours vs years. Ya, we know, teens don’t want to do “workshops”, but this is different. You can learn more on our site and even schedule a free 20 minute intro call so we can tell them about it ourselves. They might hate the idea, but we have done this for thousands of teens so believe us when we say they will thank you afterwards!</p><p dir="ltr">If we can be of any further help to you in your journey to build resilience in the next generation, please reach out.</p><p dir="ltr"><a href="http://www.purposepro.org/students" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:14px;"></span><span style="font-size:18px;">The Catalyst Collective</span></a> <span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-size:18px;">& </span><a href="http://www.personalexcellence.org" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:18px;">Personal Excellence Foundation</span></a></span><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p></p></section><section><h2><span style="font-size:18px;">Young person receives support from three or more non parent adults.</span></h2></section><section><h3><span style="font-size:18px;">Young person and his or her parent(s) communicate positively, and young person is willing to seek advice and counsel from parents.</span></h3></section><section><h3><span style="font-size:18px;">Young person perceives that adults in the community value youth.</span></h3></section><section><h3><p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><span style="font-size:18px;">Young person serves in the community one hour or more per week.</span></p></h3></section><section><h3><span style="font-size:18px;">Parent(s) and other adults model positive, responsible behavior.</span><span style="font-size:18px;"></span></h3></section><section><h3><span style="font-size:18px;">Young person’s best friends model responsible behavior.</span></h3></section><section><h3><span style="font-size:18px;">Young person spends three or more hours per week in sports, clubs, or organizations at school and/or in the community.</span></h3></section><section><h3><span style="font-size:18px;">Young person is out with friends “with nothing special to do” <span style="text-decoration:underline;">two or fewer</span> nights per week.</span></h3></section><section><h3><span style="font-size:18px;">Young person spends one or more hours per week in activities with a religious institution.</span></h3></section><section><h3><span style="font-size:18px;">Young person is motivated to do well in school.</span></h3></section><section><h3><span style="font-size:18px;">Young person cares about his or her school.</span></h3></section><section><h3><span style="font-size:18px;">Young person accepts and takes personal responsibility.</span></h3></section><section><h3><span style="font-size:18px;">Young person “tells the truth even when it is not easy.”</span></h3></section><section><h3><span style="font-size:18px;">Young person acts on convictions and stands up for their beliefs.</span></h3></section><section><h3><span style="font-size:18px;">Young person knows how to plan ahead and make good decisions.</span></h3></section><section><h3><span style="font-size:18px;">Young person has empathy, sensitivity, and friendship skills.</span></h3></section><section><h3><span style="font-size:18px;">Young person can resist negative peer pressure and dangerous situations.</span></h3></section><section><h3><span style="font-size:18px;">Young person reports that “my life has a purpose”.</span></h3></section><section><h3><span style="font-size:18px;">Young person reports having a high self-esteem.</span></h3></section><section><h3><span style="font-size:18px;">Young person is optimistic about their personal future.</span></h3></section>
