Coming of Age

Purpose

The purpose of this program is to build awareness that all of life is a journey. In that journey, there are certain transitions in which we can consciously participate.

The Program seeks to:

  • Acknowledge and honor the fact that young adults are reaching pivotal points in their lives, which entail important struggles.
  • Aid participants in making connections between life experiences they have in common.
  • Validate the internal process of making sense of life experiences, and structure support for participants to choose the deeper way, the questioning way, as they make meaning in their own lives.
  • Honor and celebrate awareness and acceptance of the transition into young adulthood, and the contributions to the larger world made possible by the knowledge gained on the journey.

With "Coming of Age" you will understand:

  • The changes you are moving through;
  • That with new found independence comes responsibility
  • That growing up is exciting, scary, full of adventure, challenging, and sometimes painful;
  • That others can support and help you along the way;
  • Your value as a contributing member of the human family.
