Arika Davenport founded Path to Purpose Student Alliance after witnessing firsthand the untapped potential of many young people growing up in the inner city. As a mother of two sons and a passionate advocate for youth development, she is committed to helping students discover their purpose and create positive futures.
To equip students and young adults with the tools to discover their God-given purpose — growing in identity, leadership, life skills, and faith — so they can live with intention and impact in every area of their lives.
To empower a generation of purpose-driven leaders who know who they are, understand why they were created, and use their gifts to positively impact their communities and the world.
Everyone has purpose & potential. When given the right support, guidance, and opportunities, students & young adults can become leaders, innovators, and change makers who transform their communities and shape a brighter future.
Our long-term vision is to establish a permanent community space where youth and young adults can gather, learn, build relationships, and access resources that help them thrive. Through mentorship, entrepreneurship, leadership development, and faith-based support, Our Purpose House will serve as a place where purpose is discovered and futures are changed.
With your help, we can create a place where purpose is discovered, leaders are developed, and communities are transformed.
