Junior Youth Empowerment Programmes.

Junior youth face challenges that are unique to their age group. The degree of nurturing and encouragement given to them at this impressionable age determines who they will become as youth and adults. By providing junior youth programs that explore critical and moral issues, whilst encouraging personal expression, the true potential within these youth people can be realized, thereby benefiting themselves and society as a whole.

Course Objectives:

• Addressing humanity's growing concern for the moral and spiritual education of young people - a challenge which no community can afford to ignore.
   
• Focusing on the development of spiritual qualities or virtues, intellectual capabilities and capacity for service. 
• Through spiritual empowerment and the development of spiritual perception the courses aim to raise the self esteem if young people and to equip them with the knowledge, concepts and skills that will enable them to engage in acts of service to the community and to humanity.
   

Course Structure:
The structure of the junior youth programs may vary slightly from group to group, but it can generally be said that:

• The programs adopt a participatory method of learning where facilitator and participant learn from each other.
• Participants are engaged in activities such as artistic expression, discussion, drama, memorization of quotations and poems, co-operative games, storytelling and acts of community service.
• Classes are held on a regular basis.
• There is no written homework.
