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 6 years, ~80-100 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).

In service of this goal, we’re putting together a program that we’re incredibly excited about centered on three core elements: a speaker series, interactive workshops and activities, and fellowship in beautiful, natural surroundings.

We’ve had a diverse array of Bahá’í professionals present and lead sessions over the years, including Shane Tedjarati, Holiday Reinhorn, Dan Makoski, Niki de Leon, Rainn Wilson, Dr. Nasrin Bashiri, and Justin Baldoni among many others.
