Community

As part of our land-grant mission, our hope is to bring purpose work to all West Virginia communities to help them grow and thrive. While we are not yet in the community rollout phase, we have begun doing some pilot work with a variety of partners.

Be on the lookout for more community and K12 opportunities in the future.

WVU Extension and 4-H Partnership

In summer of 2023, the Purpose Center partnered with WVU Extension and West Virginia 4-H to bring strengths-based learning and workshops to three state summer camps at Jackson’s Mill. Since then, the Purpose Center in partnership with WVU Extension has continued strengths-based learning with students, faculty, and staff in these spaces.

Purpose and Strengths for Community Organizations

We offer a variety of purpose and strengths-based workshops for community groups and organizations. Purpose and strengths workshops are available upon request. If you are a community organization or business and are interested in a strengths or purpose workshop, please fill out this form.

Top 5 Strengths

Input®, Adaptability® , Intellection® , Empathy® , Strategic®

The spaces in which I operate don’t always have people who also are aware or or engage with their strengths, which makes it more of a challenge to lead with CliftonStrengths® in a collaborative work environment. However, knowing my own strengths has given me an additional tool in my toolbox to view my skills, approach problems, and understand myself in a professional setting. Also, I can see the value of using strengths to build teams, assign tasks, engage with coworkers and colleagues, and celebrate achievements.
