Chicago Baha'i Community

Chicago Baha'i Community "Be generous in prosperity, and thankful in adversity. Be worthy of the trust of thy neighbor, and look upon him with a bright and friendly face."

The Bahá’ís are members of a global community that believes in one loving Creator, one unfolding religion and one human family. The Bahá’í Faith is the youngest of the world’s independent religions. Bahá’ís believe that there is one loving, all-powerful and unknowable divine Source for the world’s great religions, and that all humanity is one family. Across the globe, Bahá’ís and their friends and

neighbors are putting Bahá’u’lláh’s teachings into action through the Core Activities. These collaborative grassroots efforts focus on empowering individuals of all ages and backgrounds to recognize and develop their spiritual capacities. Through an educational process characterized by service, reflection and consultation, participants in Core Activities channel their collective energies towards building networks of friendship and mutual support on their block, neighborhood, village and beyond. http://www.bahai.org

Young people are searching for purpose, belonging, and ways to make a difference.

The Junior Youth Spiritual Empowerment Program creates spaces where they can build friendships, express their ideas, reflect on questions that matter, and learn to contribute to the well-being of their communities.

This video shares moments from camps in the Chicago area where junior youth come together through the arts, sports, service, prayer, and meaningful conversation — creating environments of encouragement, joy, and collective growth across diverse backgrounds.

At a time when many young people are navigating uncertainty and division, these spaces remind us of the power of nurturing confidence, compassion, and a spirit of service in the next generation.
