Over the course of the past summer, Baha'i communities around the world organized a total of 114 youth conferences attended by tens of thousands of young people, including 7 from right here in the Gorge. The purpose of the conferences was to foster consultation on themes such as "the characteristics inherent to the period of youth, the historical contribution of young people to the transformation of society, the responsibilities of the present generation of youth, the society-building power of the Bahá’í Teachings, and the importance of faith and tenacity to a life of service."
