Summary/Abstract: Every young person in the period of adolescence seeks meaning in life, focusing their actions around specific goals. In choosing these independently, they are guided by particular values, pursuing them by orienting themselves towards the world in a particular way. Functioning in the world and making choices is facilitated by analysing and interpreting an ever-changing reality. The decisions a young person makes relate to various areas of life and have varying degrees of significance and levels of engagement in action leading to the realisation of their intentions. The first part of the article presents selected concepts of goal-directed behaviour, presenting human activity in the category of goals set by the subject for themselves. These concepts characterise, above all, individual life goals, their properties, and the mechanisms governing them. The second part of the article presents the results of research on the life goals of residents of Youth Educational Centres in Poland, compared with research on the life goals of residents becoming independent (leaving the centres).
