  • "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."
