Sparked Youth

Helping teens and young adults cultivate purpose so they can experience college and career success and better life satisfaction

The Need

The mental health crisis among youth has reached unprecedented levels, as evidenced by CDC data indicating that nearly 3 in 5 teen girls experienced persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness in 2021, with boys also reporting alarmingly high rates. Left unaddressed, these sentiments often endure into adulthood, manifesting as mid-life or career crises, as shown by a 2022 Gallup Workplace Poll revealing that 60% of workers feel disengaged. A lack of purpose underlies these feelings of hopelessness. Purpose provides meaning, direction, and joy in life and is critically important for sustained commitment to interests and activities, especially  for teens and young adults as they navigate college and career choices. Shockingly, less than a quarter of high school students report having a sense of purpose, while three out of five young adults feel their lives lack meaning and direction. Addressing this crisis requires concerted efforts to cultivate purpose and meaning in the lives of young people, providing them with the necessary tools to thrive emotionally and professionally.
