Purpose at every age: Exploring identity and meaning across the lifespan
A 4-H Youth Development Educator brings a unique perspective to this one-hour interactive webinar, grounded in daily work with young people who are actively shaping their identities and seeking ways to make a difference.
Recognizing that these questions remain important throughout adulthood, the session brings youth and aging adults together to explore purpose, identity, and meaning through the lens of positive youth development and intergenerational connection.
Drawing on 4-H values of belonging, mastery, independence, and generosity, participants will reflect on life transitions, shared strengths, and practical ways to cultivate purpose at every age.
This webinar is part of Extension's 2026 Healthy Aging Month Webinar Series.
