About Born To Become
We believe every person carries a potential they were born to grow into. Our purpose is to help people remember it, and to give them the education and support to live it.
Our story
Born To Become was founded by Chris Hay, who knows first-hand how disorienting it can be when the life you've built stops feeling like yours. After a long search for his own calling, a dark night of the soul that went on far longer than he ever anticipated, Chris set out to create the kind of support he wished he'd had.
The trust was established in 2022 to make that support available as education: programmes, resources and events that help people find their strengths, their causes and their way forward.
Our charitable purpose
Born To Become's purposes are primarily the advancement of education by:
- Promoting educational programmes and materials that benefit our community by leading individuals to self-actualisation
- Producing and promoting educational materials that help people identify their signature strengths and the causes they care most deeply about, align the two, and navigate the hurdles they're likely to encounter
- Providing workshops, seminars and events for the public on self-actualisation, so people can achieve their highest potential
Governance
Born To Become is a charitable trust governed by a board of trustees under a deed of trust. All of the trust's income and assets are applied to its charitable purposes, and no private profit is made from its work.
