For Parents

Your Cause

Here is where the rubber meets the road! We are on this earth to love and help each other, so in this section, you will spend some time thinking about the cause that gets your blood pumping! Maybe you’ve known about a particular passion project for years now or maybe you haven’t thought about it much at all… In either case, now is the time to answer one more round of questions and find the theme that leads you on a path designed for you! Here we go!

Your Legacy

For this section, think about the legacy you want to leave with the world. We all want our lives to count for something….what is that something for you? Once you have an idea what you want your legacy to be, it will be easier to plan the rest of your life with that goal in mind!

Your Business Ideas

Have you ever dreamed of being a business owner? Well, here’s your chance to give it some more thought. The world needs business owners just as much as we need worker bees, so put on your thinking cap and have at it! This section will help you think about the products and services that you feel are missing in your community (or the world) and will encourage you to include your solutions in your ultimate life vision.

Role Models

Who do you look up to as you go about your daily life? This section will have you thinking about the kind of person that you want to be for others, either in your career, your family life, your community or your church. Remember, it’s great to have role models that you admire and respect, but it’s also important to be a role model for someone who can learn from you!

Personal Growth

This series will lead you toward your own personal growth, as it relates to your actions, fears, hesitations and amazing accomplishments and lessons. Take a minute to give yourself credit for all you’ve done so far in life, including your experiences, successes, failures and lessons. All of this combines to make you the person that you are and helps you see the person that you will ultimately become!

Personal Interests

Your task now is to answer a series of questions that are designed to offer prompts that will help determine what lights your soul on fire! Most of the questions are positive, but some have a negative twist. After all, it’s just as important to discover what makes your skin crawl, as well as what makes you jump for joy!

Skills And Talents

It’s time to take a good look at your gifts. What skills and talents have you recognized as your own? What are your special abilities? And we might as well look at what you are not so good at now too - it all comes together to help you find the path that was made especially for you!

Gap Year Programs

Not everyone is ready to jump out of high school and go straight into 4 more years (at least) of academics and learning. Some are burned out, some are not sure what career they want to pursue, and some just want to travel and find out more about themselves. Whatever the reason, a gap year can be a fantastic experience and should be seriously considered if you are not absolutely sure about diving straight into college.

Apprenticeship.gov

As they say, they are the one-stop source for all things apprenticeship. Simply click on the job title that interests you to get more information or enter your desired career in the keyword section and press search. Selecting “apply” will take you to the actual job listing and application.

Bureau Of Labor Statistics

The Bureau of Labor Statistics provides a wealth of career information, including duties, education, training, pay and outlook. You simply select the occupational group that you are interested in (based on your prior work) and you will instantly see all the possible careers that are included in that group. Further selection of each specific career within the initial group will take you to a page that tells you everything you need to know about that career.

Providing Inspiration and Joy

With lots of work to be done in creating a socially just, sustainable, and spiritually filled planet, it’s easy to become overwhelmed and discouraged. That’s where these careers come into play! We need Changemakers to help keep the light on and instill positive change throughout the world.

Providing Sustainable Consumer Products

Sustainability continues to threaten our lives and world due to overconsumption and our own obsession with “stuff.” We need Changemakers to find new and innovative ways to tackle this problem before things get too far out of hand.

Serving Changemakers

You don’t have to start your own business or non-profit to lead change. Sometimes, you just need to look around you and see what’s already being done and join the fight! If these Changemakers would unite with other leaders, the possibilities would be endless! What are you waiting for?

Social Change & Social Justice

One of the most satisfying ways to change the world in to take a stand for a cause you’re passionate about. We need Changemakers with a strong stance to take these issues head on! Hopefully this will lead others to follow in their direction.

Raising Consciousness

Any career or business that provides an opportunity to raise the consciousness of people around you will have a tremendous impact on our planet. We need people to help others become more aware of what’s going on, so that they may make better decisions in the future.

Working Directly with Nature

Changemakers are needed to help humanity find its way back to nature. Obviously we need people to protect the natural world, but we also need to teach and guide others to once again live in harmony with this amazing ecosystem that we are slowly continuing to destroy.

Communication, Love & Relationships

One of our most basic, fundamental needs as human beings is to give and receive love. Therefore, cultivating love, communication and relationships is indeed one of the 10 best ways to get paid as a Changemaker.

Empowering People

When people are empowered, they are more likely to do the right thing. They are more likely to act with compassion and make choices that lead to a healthier, more sustainable world. We need Changemakers to help empower today’s society!

As we all know, health and healing is a multibillion dollar industry, but most of the money goes toward financing symptom control and the treatments of existing diseases. What we really need is research and preventative health care. Changemakers start here!
