As we start the year 2025, MARKED with Purpose is more committed than ever to empowering educators to empower futures. This year, we’re growing our impact through meaningful collaborations and launching our first online Global MARKED Educator Training Program, making our research-based programs accessible to educators worldwide.
Empowering Educators to Empower Futures
Educators play a crucial role in young people's lives, yet they face growing demands. They are on the frontlines of the youth mental health crisis, often struggling with emotional exhaustion, feelings of inadequacy, and limited resources—all while supporting diverse youths’ who may struggle with learning difficulties and behavioral challenges.
At MARKED with Purpose, we equip educators with practical tools to foster youth self-worth, social-emotional growth, and active participation—while also supporting educators’ own well-being and sense of purpose. Our vision is clear: by 2030, we aim to impact 10 million young lives by providing educators with our programs, empowering them to create lasting change in their communities and classrooms.
As we guide young people to discover their purpose and reach their full potential, we want to give educators the possibility to reflect the same. We are often clear about what we do, but not always so clear on why we do it. Educators who operate from a deep sense of mission and purpose don’t just teach—they transform. They don’t see education only as a task, but as a way to create impact. And this is what fuels lasting change and can provide much needed inspiration to sustain us throughout the challenges we face.
Collaboration with Universities
While launching the first online Global MARKED Educator training program, another major milestone this year is our collaboration with universities with the program. By working together with universities and their teacher training, we ensure educators are equipped with the needed tools to thrive and make a difference. Stay tuned—we’ll be sharing more details soon! #GlobalMarkedEducator
The bigger vision: We are all #markedwithpurpose
Every person has something unique to contribute. We see education as a catalyst for positive social change—where every learner is empowered to develop essential skills and harness their strengths and interests to make a meaningful impact. As we step into 2025, we invite you to reflect on your ‘why.’
What drives you in your profession?
What impact do you want to make?
Let’s make this a powerful year together. Because we are all #markedwithpurpose.
