Ruhi Book 5 (new)
The spiritual empowerment of adolescents ages 12 to 15 is the major theme explored in Releasing the Powers of Junior Youth.
Participants first explore concepts such as the period of youth; the role of youth in bettering society; and the twofold moral purpose of life, that of individual growth, and contributing to the betterment of society. Participants then consider the immense potentialities of those between 12 and 15 years of age; exploring the nature of this age, the effect of the social environment on their lives, the concept of a 'junior youth group' as an environment of mutual support, and the role of the animator. Finally, the book looks at the various aspects of the Junior Youth Spiritual Empowerment programme, with a deeper exploration of some of the materials of the programme that are studied in junior youth groups.

What is a Study Circle?
Over the past few decades, the worldwide Bahá'í community has developed an educational programme that seeks to cultivate the vast and powerful potentialities inherent in every human being.

What is a Junior Youth Group?
The Junior Youth Spiritual Empowerment Programme is a three-year programme for 12-15 year-olds which fosters a positive transition from childhood to adolescence. Junior youth engage by joining or forming a group, which often comprises 5-10 young people in a given locality, and usually meets at least weekly.
Participants learn to identify the needs of their community and to find ways to respond to them through increasingly complex and meaningful acts of service. They study together a series of modules which can provide them with the elements of a conceptual framework that will guide their choices and actions as they mature into adults. Purposeful social, sport and artistic activities also constitute a key element of the programme. See here
