Young people around the world are directing their energies towards serving their communities.

Throughout the year, over long-weekends and school vacations, youth across Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska  come together to study courses of the Ruhi Training Institute, serve their communities, create art, pray, and make meaningful and lasting friendships in an empowering environment created by youth, for youth.

The training institute at the heart of this process draws on the spiritual teachings of the Baha'i Faith to help people of any background address the challenges facing society. By studying these courses, we gain the spiritual insights and practical skills needed to move forward on the path of service together and to advance in our twofold moral purpose: to pursue our own spiritual and intellectual growth and to contribute to the constructive transformation of society.

“The period of youth is characterized by strength and vigor and stands out as the choicest time in human life.”

— ‘Abdu’l-Baha
