YOUTH EMPOWERMENT
The Age of Transition Junior Youth Spiritual Empowerment Programme (11 – 15 year olds)
- Trained “animators” or mentors facilitate groups for this special, burgeoning energies and particular needs.
- A curriculum of stories and exercises present universal, spiritual themes eg. hope, justice, love, honesty etc. providing a space for junior youth to discuss concepts that empower positive choices for their lives and that of their families and communities. Intellectual capacities are enhanced as they develop their powers of thought and expression.
- Another key component of the programme is the planning and implementation of neighbourhood service projects. Groups are encouraged to evaluate the needs of their community and consider how their actions may contribute to its improvement. Service projects can start simply and develop in complexity e.g. a one-off litter pick in the local park, periodic visits to share ‘support packages’ with a homeless shelter or the organisation of neighbourhood family festivals.
- Artistic and creative activities draw out the talents and capacities of the junior youth and recreational activities are crucial to the release of their increasing physical energies.
