In the context of a unique out\u2010of\u2010school time program that empowers youth to pursue passions through self\u2010driven learning, we examined whether purpose and one aspect of goal pursuit\u2014perceptions of goal progress\u2014work together to sustain themselves and each other over time.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>Adolescents (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009321) completed daily surveys throughout program enrollment (<jats:italic>M<\/jats:italic><jats:sub><jats:italic>enrollment<\/jats:italic><\/jats:sub>\u2009=\u200969.09\u2009days).
