Ask young members of the Baha’i Faith what they’re involved in, and you’ll no doubt hear about helping to build sustainable communities, teaching children principles of morality, participating in interfaith programs and doing service projects, among other activities.
Indeed, young Baha’is have been at the forefront of activity at every notable point in the history of the Faith. The Bab was just 25 years old when He declared His mission. Abdu’l-Baha served His Father from a very young age. Shoghi Effendi was 24 and a student when he assumed his responsibilities as Guardian of the Faith.
Young members of the Baha’i community are encouraged to grow in moral responsibility, often by contributing to the well being of others. Many young Baha’is do a Year of Service to humanity in the form of assisting in social and economic development projects throughout the world or teaching children’s classes on moral and spiritual education.
These experiences help Baha’i youth develop a sense of world citizenship and a lifelong commitment to serve humanity, a core belief of the Baha’i Faith.
