Project GPS Goal

Project GPS GoalTo improve the goal management – or intentional self regulation – skills of

youth in mentoring programs, helping them to thrive and achieve their goals through a collection of rubrics and activities designed for the mentor-

youth relationship.

Project GPS Pilot Goal

Project GPS Pilot GoalTo test whether our new rubrics are equivalent measures of both positive youth development and intentional self regulation to the

measures used in our longitudinal survey – the 4-H Study of Positive Youth Development
