About Young Adult Weekend

Young Adult Weekend’s mission is “to strengthen bonds of fellowship through the love of Bahá’u’lláh and to empower young people to achieve material and spiritual excellence.”
For 5 years, ~80 annual attendees from across North America and beyond have come together in joy and radiance, developing lasting bonds of friendship and heightening their collective understanding of what it means “to live a coherent life and be an agent of spiritual and social transformation” (Universal House of Justice, 5th December 2013).

To get a flavor for the spirit of the event, please watch this short film from 2017 and this one from 2016.

It behooveth the people of Baha, throughout these days, to provide good cheer for themselves, their kindred and, beyond them, the poor and needy, and with joy and exultation to hail and glorify their Lord, to sing His praise and magnify His Name; and when they end—these days of giving that precede the season of restraint—let them enter upon the Fast. – Baha’u’llah, Kitab-i-Aqdas.
