The Junior Youth Spiritual Empowerment Program (JYSEP) is an educational process that seeks to raise capacity within the Junior youth population to take charge of their own spiritual, social and intellectual development. This program is open to all young people aged between 11 and 14, of every background, and assists them to navigate through this crucial stage in their lives.
Falling between the ages of 11 and 14 and representing a transition from childhood to youth, young adolescents—referred to as “junior youth”—experience rapid physical, intellectual, and emotional changes. Their spiritual powers expand. A new level of awareness fosters in them an increased interest in profound questions and in their talents and abilities. During this short and critical three-year period, ideas about the individual and society that may very well shape the rest of their lives are formed. However, delight at these new powers is often combined with feelings of worry, discomfort, and doubt that may produce contradictions in behaviour. Directing their new abilities towards selfless service to humanity is therefore needed at this age.
Engaging junior youth in this program will serve them to enhance their capacities and to prepare them to participate effectively in the affairs of their communities. Attend an introductory meeting: 4005 Avenida de la Plata, Oceanside, CA 92056. Call Neda Towfiq at 760-583-2488 neda@promptlink.com
