"Love everybody, serve everybody." - 'Abdu'l-Baha'

Junior Youth Groups

The junior youth spiritual empowerment program is open to young people aged between approximately 12 and 14 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.


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 and participants learn from each other.


Groups of participants engage in activities such as artistic expression, discussion, drama, cooperative games, study of literature, story telling and acts of community service.


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 regularly and there is no written homework.
