About A Purpose By Design.
Sharing EXPERIENCES.
Our volunteers share their own life experiences with the young women of PBD. Through storytelling we create a healing wave through connection.
Spreading HOPE.
When our volunteers share their stories and truth, the young women become empowered - and recognize how they too can move past their own trials.
Showing God’s LOVE.
We are all vessels of God’s love. It is our program’s goal that all young women of PBD understand that God loves them and desires the very best for them.
It all begins with an idea.
A Purpose By Design believes that God designs every girl with unique gifts and a special purpose.

What People Are Saying….
PBD Graduate
“Believing I was designed with a purpose has gotten me through so many tough situations, some I never thought I would make it out of. The women at Purpose by Design make it their mission to help every girl understand that you were not put on this earth for no reason. They help us understand that there is worth to your existence. God does not make mistakes, even after it being years since I have gone, no matter the situation sometimes I still whisper to myself that “I was designed with a purpose!” - Semara Lowe
