The research was conducted among the University Ignatianum youth students in Kraków, Poland. The age of the participants ranged between 19 and 23 years. Three tools instrument were applied: the Rokeach Value Survey (RVS), the Hope Scale (HS) by Snyder, and the Intensity of Religious Experience Scale (IRES) by Głaz. Young people from 18 instrumental values, valued most the following values: helpful (moral value), capable, and self-controlled (competence values). Moreover, young people reveal different types of hope. They exhibit an average level of agency and a high level of pathways, a high level of experience of God’s presence, and an average level of experience of God’s absence.
