Junior Youth Spiritual Empowerment Program

To empower youth in leadership and organizational skills to become agents of positive change in the world. Youth learn to facilitate groups of junior youth (11-14 yrs) to increase their capacity for service, empowering them to channel their energies by strengthening their own character, and contribute to the well-being of their communities and the world at large. The program is inspired by the teachings of the Bahá’u’lláh; the Founder of the Baha'i Faith. The program is open to all people and the diversity of ideas and perspectives helps to create a vibrant group where each is empowered to strive toward spiritual and intellectual excellence. "The earth is but one country and mankind its citizens" -- Bahá'í writings. The Bahá'í Faith is the newest of the world's independent religions. Bahá'ís are dedicated to creating a peaceful and prosperous world that is based on justice and unity. Bahá'ís are working with their friends and neighbors to build this unity at the local level through simple community building efforts. "Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value. Education can, alone cause it to reveal its treasures and enable mankind to benefit therefrom" -- Bahá'í writings. To learn more about the Bahá'í Faith, visit: www.bahai.org
