Identify What’s Personally Meaningful
To explore how you can contribute, reflect back on what you know about yourself. What are some things you’re good at? What do you consider to be your biggest strengths? What do you want to share with the world? Select 1-2 of your top strengths or interests that you want to use to help others. You might look at
Sharing Strengths and Interest Mapping.
Explore Ways to Create Impact
Maybe there is a person, community, or cause that you want to support right now. Having an impact can be personal, like helping a friend or family member, or more systemic, like helping a larger cause or community. You might consider one of these areas to focus on, if you feel strongly about it:
POTENTIAL AREAS OF IMPACT
I want to impact
Make It Action-Oriented
There are so many ways to make an impact. It helps to start with one direction. Explore different forms of contribution and pick one way you can put your strengths and skills into action to support others you care about.

Why This Matters To You
Lastly, write your purpose statement to share how you want to make an impact and why this matters to you. You can continue to revisit your purpose statement to guide you in your next steps.
YOUR PURPOSE STATEMENT

Is there a small way you are already creating impact in your community? How can you take this even further? You might consider sharing your ideas with more people who can help, expanding your efforts to reach a broader community, or learning more about other ways to make an impact in this area.
There’s never just one way to make a difference. Consider a cause you care about — is there a new way you want to contribute? If you like to volunteer your time, you might try planning an event to support this cause. If you teach others about an issue you care about, you might try writing an article, starting an online campaign, or creating an education tool
Getting to the root of the things you care about can say a lot about who you are. What causes or issues resonate most with you? Ask yourself why this matters to you personally — what gets you fired up to make a change? This may point to other areas where you can make a difference.
