Promise of Young People

Promise of Young People Worldwide, junior youth are participating in an endeavour that strives to give them a voice in today’

These junior youth groups are enhancing their power of expression, sharpening their spiritual perception and allowing them to analyse the constructive and destructive forces of society. The participants of this group are junior youth between the ages of 12 and 15. This is a crucial period of a junior youth’s life as their consciousness is expanding and, day by day, they are becoming increasingly e

xposed to the forces of society. The older youth that acts as a guide to the junior youth is referred to as an “Animator”. The role of an Animator is to assist the junior youth in developing their capacities, encouraging them to contribute to the betterment of society as well as encouraging them to question the world around them. Most importantly, an Animator must strive to become a true friend to the junior youth. There are multiple aspects of a junior youth group that contribute to moral and spiritual empowerment. One aspect of the group is to study text which includes stories of junior youth around the world which the members of a junior youth group can relate to and apply certain concepts to their own lives. The first book in the junior youth sequence of text is called Breezes of Confirmation, in which the life of a young girl from a remote village is discovering the meaning of divine “confirmations”. While it is important to note that junior youth groups and their texts are Baha’i-inspired, there is no religious indoctrination whatsoever. Junior youth groups can make a significant difference in communities, neighbourhoods, villages and even the world at large! When junior youth become spiritually empowered, they take on tremendous amounts of responsibility to contribute to the betterment of society. A junior youth group has the potential to change their surroundings through the service projects that they do, keeping in mind that change is most sustainable when their efforts are consistent. With countless groups around the globe, youth are already moving the world!

Regardless of their social situations, young people aspire for spiritual and intellectual growth and “to make a contribution to the fortunes of humanity”. They have many wonderful powers, and channelling them properly is an important concern, for when misdirected or manipulated by others, they can cause much social distress. Among the youth of the world are those alive to Bahá’u’lláh’s vision of a spiritually and materially prosperous world.
