Purpose Retreat

Educators

The Youth Frontiers Purpose Retreat helps staff feel renewed and recommitted to their vocation, fostering their students’ academic success and making a positive difference in students’ lives. We give educators time and space to rediscover the motivation that originally inspired them to enter the noble profession of education. Educators will remember and share defining moments in their careers and leave the retreat committed to following “their music” and giving the best of themselves to their students.

Prepare for Your Purpose Retreat

From an educator at Zimmerman High School, Zimmerman, Minn.:

“Our staff has never felt so connected, driven and positive about a school year as we do now, and teachers attribute it in large part to the Purpose Retreat we attended in the fall.”
