It is a place to explore new initiatives and find ways to realize them. It is a worldwide network of active, questioning, change agents. \u00a0It is a group with no members. \u00a0It is a space to deepen our questions and thinking and our understanding of ourselves and the world. \u00a0The Youth Section is one of eleven sections of the School for Spiritual Science,\u00a0 and is connected to the Youth Section of the General Anthroposophical Society based in Dornach, Switzerland. Youth from Canada and the United States work together in this North American section.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nWhat does the Youth Section do? \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2719 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/anthroposophy.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/news-graphic-232x300.jpg\" alt=\"news graphic\" width=\"232\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/anthroposophy.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/news-graphic-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/anthroposophy.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/news-graphic.jpg 464w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 232px) 100vw, 232px\" \/>We connect and support young people in our spiritual striving, our need to understand and be active in the world, and our intention to make a positive difference.\u00a0 We do this by sponsoring national events and conversations, publishing a newsletter, and providing scholarship funds for young people to attend international youth conferences. In April, 2015 we sent eight young people to the Connect Conference in Belgium, an incredible opportunity for high school students to be inspired by other young people, be supported in their spiritual questions, and embark on a spiritual path to underpin their work in the world. <strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-2720 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/anthroposophy.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/encountering-our-humanity-232x300.jpg\" alt=\"encountering our humanity\" width=\"232\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/anthroposophy.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/encountering-our-humanity-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/anthroposophy.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/encountering-our-humanity.jpg 495w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 232px) 100vw, 232px\" \/>How can I become involved?
