Objective: Accompaniment in Work/Service

“when study and service are joined and carried out concurrently” there, in the
field of service, knowledge is tested, questions arise out of practice, and new
levels of understanding are achieved.” (Universal house of Justice)

“. . . the courses of the institute are intended to set the individual on a path in
which qualities and attitudes, skills and abilities, are gradually acquired
through service—service intended to quell the insistent self, helping to lift the
individual out of its confines and placing him or her in a dynamic process of
community building.”

In the young people of the world, then, lies a reservoir of capacity to

transform society waiting to be tapped. and the release of this capacity
should be regarded by every institute as a sacred charge.”

?
• “What kind of work can I do that is meaningful, allows me to be of
services, uses my strengths so I can be of most impact in my
service endeavors?”

• “How can I navigate on my own, and formalize a support network

as we learn about carving out a meaningful career path

• “Youth are challenged to find their motivation for study and work,
many are not sure how to move forward…

• “We get mixed signals on the path to “success”, and what happens
when I want to carve out a different path from the prevailing pattern
of thought from society

• How to prepare for the next 9 year cycle when prestige is based on
working a lot “I was told to be successful, work has to be my only
passion”

civilization are significant.

A person strives to acquire the qualities, attitude and abilities of an effective

contributor to progress and endows the various aspects of his or her life – education,
work, marriage, family life- with a strong sense of mission.

In “efforts to achieve personal growth and to uphold Baha’i ideals” one is immersed in a
purposeful community , and environment in which true unity impels friends of all ages to
assist one another attain higher and higher levels for spiritual, moral and intellectual
excellence.”
