The Junior Youth Spiritual Empowerment Program (JYSEP) is a global movement inspiring young people, parents, and community members to work together toward a better world.
The period between the ages of 11 to 14 represents a special time in the life of an individual, for it is during these years that he or she leaves childhood behind and undergoes profound change. Engaging junior youth in programs that seek to enhance their spiritual and intellectual capacities will prepare them to participate effectively in the affairs of their communities.
Groups of junior youth are formed and facilitated by trained individuals, who serve as mentors and role models. The themes the participants will be studying in the curriculum and engaging through service to their communities are cooperation, unity, service to humanity, truthfulness, striving for excellence in their lives and for the community, and justice.
