THE PROBLEM #GPP SOLVES.
 Arizona currently has the 2nd worst graduation rate in the US and ranks #14 for having the worst high school volunteerism in the nation. In addition to suffering academically, children and teens are experiencing increased levels of anxiety and depression. In December 2021, US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, MD, issued an advisory on mental health among youths, calling it an “urgent public health crisis.” 
AT #GPP... WE EMPOWER YOUTH
​TO BE PART OF THE SOLUTION
The Greater Purpose Project offers a solution to these issues by providing youth with meaningful service learning opportunities that increase their social/emotional wellbeing while reducing anxiety and depression. #GPP equips students with the tools, training and mentoring they need to identify and help solve local issues. ​#GPP's programs provide youth with the unique opportunity to use their talents and skills to achieve youth-lead service projects that improve our communities. 

YOUTH THAT ENGAGE IN #GPP PROGRAMS:
  • ​Report decreased levels of anxiety and depression
  • Are more likely to graduate high-school
  • Are less likely to engage in risky behavior
  • Develop leadership skills
  • Receive job-readiness training
  • Increase their empathy
  • Learn that no matter their age, race, socio-economic status,  and or any adversity they have experienced we all have the ability to selflessly give of ourselves.

​This moment is one of those we will be smiling about for years to come! This photo was snapped at the dedication of our Candyland themed library gifted to Roberts Naylor School. This library is one of four libraries designed by Arizona teens. In addition to designing this vibrant work of candy-themed art, our teens collected hundreds of books to fill the libraries! 


The teens pictured (Kylie, Lauren, Nathan and Sophia) were part of a group of Arizona teens that competed in the #GPP Teen Challenge! 

There is something quite magical about picking up a book and getting lost in the story
