Regular Study Weekends

Every generation of youth is distinguished by certain characteristics and their lives are shaped by particular forces. The youth nights and gatherings bring young people of different ages and experiences together. Many are teenagers who, through school, family, and community life, are preparing for the duties of adulthood. Others are older youth who may be in college or working, married or in the process of starting a family. For some, social conditions may have thrust on them duties of a much older age, and the survival of their families may already depend on them. Equally diverse are the communities they come from, ranging from the small villages of the world to the neighborhoods of large urban centers with millions of inhabitants.

Regardless of their social situations, young people aspire for spiritual and intellectual powers, and channeling them properly is an important concern, for when misdirected or manipulated by others, they can cause much social distress. Among the youth of the world are those alive to Bahá’u’lláh’s vision of a spiritually and materially prosperous world. Engaging in the programs of the training institute enables them to see themselves as walking a path of service. Along this path they enhance their capacity to apply Bahá’u’lláh’s teachings to the life of society. They understand, as ‘Abdu’l-Bahá has stated, that no deed in the world is “nobler than service to the common good”, that “the highest righteousness” is to “arise and energetically devote themselves to the service of the masses”.
