Summer of Service is a region-wide program that invites youth over the age of fifteen to an intensive month of study, service, arts, and fellowship. The program’s aims are twofold:

• To ensure that youth across the region are advancing in their study of institute materials and in their personal spiritual growth

• To help them build capacity for service through helping to form and facilitate children’s classes and junior youth groups in neighborhoods across the Northeast

The effects of this program have been tremendous on the lives of participants, who have gone on to feel transformed in their service in their home communities, in their understanding of profound spiritual concepts, and in their future plans and goals.
