WHAT?
Purpose Lab equips teens to build passion-driven projects that reflect who they are—and what they stand for.
Whether it’s a startup idea, climate campaign, or creative portfolio, students will walk away with a clear direction for the road ahead.
WHY?
Because the future should feel exciting—not overwhelming.
In just one week, teens will:
✔ Identify their core values and long-term goals
✔ Design a project that stands out on college apps or resumes
✔ Present their work at our inspiring Purpose Expo
✔ Boost confidence, clarity, and career-readiness
Fun. Visionary. Empowering.
Purpose Lab is where big dreams take shape.
Purpose Lab is created for high school and university students to explore their passions and purpose. Hear what students from the University of Denver took away from the experience.
