The Youth Compass Project is an invitation to every young person in the world to Lead, Love and Leave a Legacy.

Organisational leaders begin with the end in mind and the same is true of leading your own life. The end in mind for a person’s life for millennia was that they would become an elder within their community – a person who has learned to Lead, to Love, and Leave a Legacy. People of perspective, wisdom, humility, forgiveness, empathy, courage, compassion, generosity and justice.
 
If a young person leaves school to enter the adult world focused on their image, or success, then they end up pursuing a life that is often reactionary, tactical short-termism, having little meaning and with no idea who they will be in the latter chapters of their life. 
 
With a goal of eldership – Leading, Loving and Leaving a Legacy - a young person can leave school, or invest in those early adult years, with a purpose, a direction, a compass, a clear sense across their whole life span of who they are becoming, pursuers of mastery more than success, investors in who they are as much as what they do; people with a strong frame of reference in order to wisely navigate all the decisions across their life span.
