A $3.5 million grant from the Bezos Family Foundation is helping early-career faculty and community partners take on purpose research together, especially at institutions that haven't had the infrastructure to do this kind of work before.

PSiX researchers brought new findings from The Contribution Project to the Society for Research on Adolescence Biennial Meeting in Toronto, sharing four presentations on how giving young people the chance to design their own community contributions shapes purpose, belonging and wellbeing.

PSiX Director Anthony Burrow spoke with CNN about a new Gallup report on Gen Z and purpose. He explains what the data reveals and why it signals opportunity for employers, educators, and anyone who works with young people.
