Navigate: An Exploration of Life and Vocation

What do Past Participants Have to Say about Navigate?

“One of the most important things I took away from this program is that exploration is an essential component in the journey towards my vocation. In order to know what I like, what I don’t like, and what I’m absolutely passionate about, I need to try new things.”

“The Navigate Program came to me at a time when I was really going to need it, even though I hadn’t yet realized it. Throughout this year, I have grown more as an individual than I could have ever imagined. Not just spiritually and emotionally, but as a whole I have found more of myself in this past year than I think I have in the other 19 years combined.”

“Ultimately, the most important concept I’m taking away from my participation in Navigate is the practice of being authentic and the process of growing into myself.”
