Bahá'í Youth
___________________
Specifically, Bahá'ís over the age of fifteen who have taken on the spiritual obligations of maturity, but under the age set for voting in Bahá'í elections, presently twenty-one. Generally, any Bahá'í from early teens to the late twenties may be considered a Bahá'í youth.
 
The Universal House of Justice has written many letters to the youth, beginning with a letter dated 10 June 1966 which outlined the three fields of service open to youth: the 'study of the teachings, the spiritualization of their lives and the forming of their characters in accordance with the standards of Bahá'u'lláh'; teaching the Faith; and preparation for their later years.4
[BD 244]
