Junior Youth Empowerment Program
Who is the Junior Youth Empowerment Program for?
The junior youth spiritual empowerment program is open to all young people aged between 12 and 15, and assists them to navigate through a crucial stage in their lives.
Those in their early adolescent years possess altruism, a sense of justice, eagerness to learn about the universe, and a desire to contribute to the construction of a better world.
Aims of the program
The program helps them form a strong moral identity and empowers them to contribute to the well-being of their communities and the world at large.
By developing their spiritual qualities (virtues), their intellectual capabilities and their capacities for service to society, the participants come to see that they can become agents of positive change in the world.
The program adopts a participatory mode of learning where the facilitator (aka an animator) and the participants learn from each other.
A Message to Youth:“Undoubtedly, it is within your power to contribute significantly to shaping the societies of the coming century; youth can move the world.”
Making positive change in communities world wide
Groups of participants engage in activities such as artistic expression, discussion, drama, cooperative games, study of literature, story telling and acts of community service in their towns, neighborhoods and villages.
More about the program
The junior youth program explores themes from a Bahá’í perspective, but is not a formal religious education program. It is open to all, subject to parental approval. Junior youth groups meet on a regular basis and there is no written homework.
