Across Australia young people are participating in an endeavour that strives to give them a voice in today’s society. Through the Junior Youth Spiritual Empowerment Program, these junior youth groups are enhancing their power of expression, sharpening their spiritual perception, analysing the constructive and destructive forces of society and changing their surroundings through the service projects.

What Is the Junior Youth Program? – BAHA’I BASICS with Aria

January 21, 2026, in Videos > Short Film, by

In this video, produced by Baha’i Inspired, Aria explores what the junior youth spiritual empowerment program (or a junior youth group) is.

Baha’i Inspired is our sister channel and Baha’i Basics is one of its video series. It’s hosted by Aria and it explores questions like, what is the Baha’i Faith? Who do we believe in? How do we pray? And what do Baha’is do?

You can subscribe to Baha’i Inspired’s YouTube channel to be notified of new videos when they’re released.

Hi! Thanks for asking! We highly recommend seeing if there is a junior youth group happened near you that your kids can join. I’m not sure where you are in the world but you can contact many Baha’i communities via this website: https://www.bahai.org/national-communities
