Issue Editor’s Notes

AS THE STUDY OF youth purpose has progressed over the past decade or so, researchers and practitioners have become increasingly concerned with understanding the characteristics of environments and curricula that support its development. And they have good reason for having such an interest. The emergence of noble purpose in one’s youth is associated with several positive characteristics, including psychological adjustment and well-being, personal development, hope, life satisfaction, empathy, gratitude, generosity, and meaning in life and in one’s work.
