Purpose Statement
Rites and Responsibilities: A Guide to Growing Up, written by Darcey Ottey, exists to empower young people in navigating the profound transition from adolescence to adulthood by reconnecting them with the ancient, cross-cultural practice of rites of passage. By offering historical context, practical tools, and guiding questions, this resource restores agency to youth as they explore their identity, purpose, and place within an interconnected, multigenerational world.
Our mission is to revitalize the lost and suppressed wisdom of rites of passage and make it accessible to today’s youth. Through education, cultural restoration, and guided self-inquiry, we support young people in taking responsibility for their personal growth, community engagement, and lifelong journey of becoming. We strive to cultivate belonging, resilience, and purpose, helping young people step into adulthood with clarity, courage, and connection.
