Duplessy Purposeships

Duplessy purposeships is a unique fellowship program designed to give its participants, Purpose Fellows, a practical insight on their life’s purpose in action. The purposeship program aims to address the need for young adults to have intensive and meaningful experiences on their road to pursuing their life purpose. The fellowship will remove barriers of cost and lack of depth in opportunities for the foundation's target population, young adults 18-24 years old not enrolled in four-year institutions of higher learning.

Purpose Fellows will volunteer with a partner organization in their area of interest for a special 8-12 week project addressing a specific business problem for the partner organization. During the process of their project, partner organizations will help Purpose Fellows create a unique ‘purpose plan.’

At the end of a purposeship, Purpose Fellows will have an intense, meaningful experience and a practical vision to pursue their life’s purpose. Fellows will receive long term support, up to 10 years, from the foundation to follow up on their purpose plan. Each Purpose Fellow will also receive a purposeship grant to cover the cost associated with their purposeship.

The Duplessy Foundation will work with partner organizations in selecting purpose fellows for the purposeship program.
