Cultivating An Ever-Advancing Civilization
This course is for youth (11-17) who have completed the first and second seminars that promote the Transformative Leadership for Youth Conceptual Framework and who are currently engaged in contributing to the betterment of the life of society. Youth will deepen their understanding of Baháʼí inspired social action and participation in prevalent discourses in society while applying the elements and capabilities of the TL framework. They will also deepen their understanding of the role of youth for today and design, create and initiate grassroots sustainable social action plans. It is possible for a youth to engage in Transformative Leadership for Youth and Releasing Society-Building Powers at the same time if desired. Please contact Jessica Kerr, Lead Faculty (jkerr@wilmetteinstitute.org), for more information.
