The period between the ages of 12 and 15 rep[resents a special time in the life of an individual. It is during these years that he or she leaves childhood behind and undergoes profound change. The programs for individuals in this age range are referred to as junior youth groups. The program seeks to help them enhance their spiritual capacity (to recognize spiritual qualities in themselves and others) and intllectual capacities (to express themselves artistically, verbally and academically) and prepares them to participate effectively in the affairs of their communities. The group provides an environment of mutual support and opportunities for service in their communities.
Our activities in our community have increased!
