Junior Youth Empowerment

To engage junior youth and empower their ability to assist others so that a community can flourish.

Youth have played a vital role in Bahá’í history. The Báb Himself declared His mission when He was twenty-five years old and so many among His followers were in the prime of their youth when they embraced His Revelation.

Following in the path that these and other extraordinary figures had opened, thousands of young Bahá’ís have arisen in each generation to respond to the call of Bahá’u’lláh.

Young Bahá’ís are encouraged to draw on the zeal and enthusiasm characteristic of the period of youth and so make decisive contributions to the advancement of spiritual and material civilization.
