TOWARDS A NEW WORLDVIEW OF WORK
We Are Stewards of Generative Lifework For This One Wild and Precious Life
We envision a world, where college-educated seekers - who may have once been occupied and held hostage by work-related knowing -- increasingly offer their particular essence to wisely care for an ache in the everyday world.
[Insert a graphic here about lack of purpose in people's lives? Or something about the correlation between lack of purpose/meaning and mental health? Etc..]
Purpose and meaning is the single most important factor in the well-being of young adults (Harvard, 2025). Its absence is the greatest driver in mental health issues. Of the roughly 50% of young adults who experience an absence of purpose and meaning, 2/3 are anxious/depressed (Gallup, 2026).
Likewise, the presence of purpose/meaning is an extremely strong indicator of reduced anxiety/depression. Individual achievement pressure lessens as responsibility to community strengthens. Indeed, those who feel like they are needed and make a positive difference in others’ lives are 3-4 times more likely to experience purpose and meaning (GenX, 2026). All this suggests purpose/meaning an essential component to human well-being!
Led by Dr. Devon Almond, The Graduate Initiative of Lifework is helping seekers become increasingly wise instruments of service.
