Spiritual & Religious
The Georgia Tech Baha'i Club is a student organization that seeks to assist college students to serve others in a community building process. The Baha'i Faith is an independent, world religion that strives to bring unity between all peoples. We discuss and act on issues of world peace, spirituality, the equality of men and women and the progress of humanity in all fields through interfaith devotional gatherings, study circles, and service projects.
The club seeks participants from all religious, ethnic, and economic backgrounds to collectively take part in activities that enhance our capacity for service and engage younger youth and children in Atlanta in regular empowerment programs. Two examples of these community-building activities are a children's class and a Junior Youth Spiritual Empowerment Program that is ongoing at Centennial Place Apartments, in which junior youth, aged 12-15 participate weekly in a group of mutual support that assists them to become agents of change in their communities. Junior youth study materials that develop language expression and understanding of spiritual qualities such as honesty, humility, and trustworthiness. Together the junior youth come up with and plan service projects based on the needs of their community, and also engage in art and science activities. The animators, or facilitators of the groups are mostly college students who are unpaid volunteers that seek to serve as true friends and wise advisors to the junior youth who are navigating a challenging and critical time of life in which patterns of thought and behavior are formed. We welcome all students, regardless of their religious or non-religious backgrounds, to participate in the activities of the club and contribute to the betterment of their community.
