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.
