PROJECT WAYFINDER at THE DREAM CENTER

Our vision is that all people have access to tools to create lives of meaning and purpose

THE VISION

Project Wayfinder is a social movement and practical philosophy for young people to create lives of meaning and purpose. Project Wayfinder is reimagining an adolescent education that supports students to build lives of purpose. This summer, The Dream Center is hosting a Wayfinder Week, a free, fun and interactive program that helps teens make meaning of their lived experiences. Wayfinder Week is a partnership program between Project Wayfinder and The Dream Center.

THE SOLUTION

Students who have purpose in their lives are happier, healthier, more engaged and less stressed out than their peers without a sense of purpose. Purpose among teens has been shown to:

support identity formation
increase positive attitudes towards diversity
reduce antisocial behavior and bullying
decrease engagement in risky behaviors
increase academic engagement and achievement

THE DETAILS

Wayfinder Week @ TDC

Students are guided along a journey to understand what is meaningful to them while participating in a mixture of group activities, mindfulness exercises and personal reflection.
