The moment has come...

If you or youth you know would like to attend, please complete the registration form below! Don't wait too long... registration closes on June 30.

In 2013, over 650 youth from across the Southeast assembled in Atlanta, responding to the call of the Universal House of Justice:

To every generation of young believers comes an opportunity to make a contribution to the fortunes of humanity, unique to their time of life. For the present generation, the moment has come to reflect, to commit, to steel themselves for a life of service from which blessing will flow in abundance.

The Atlanta gathering was one of 114 youth conferences held around the world. Thousands of young people from villages, cities, and campuses on every continent came together to reflect on how they could contribute to the spiritual and material well-being of their communities.

The 2025 Southeast Regional Youth Conference invites a new generation to continue that conversation.

This series of short films captures some insight and conversation from 2013:

What will youth do at the conference?

Conference participants will learn together in an environment infused with love, creativity, and a spirit of belonging. They will build individual and collective capacity for planning, action and reflection. Understanding of the conference themes will be deepened through music, art, creative expression, and the collaborative study of these materials:

A channel for energy and purpose.

In the 2014 Ridván message—the message that followed the global wave of youth conferences—the Universal House of Justice described how the gatherings were not ends in themselves, but catalysts in a far-reaching spiritual process. They released a transformative energy that continues to strengthen systematic growth in communities around the world, including our own. As the letter states:

The two essential movements which continue to propel the process of growth—the steady flow of participants through the sequence of training institute courses and the movement of clusters along a continuum of development—have both been immensely reinforced by the outpouring of energy released at the youth conferences held last year.

These words reinforce a truth we will realize again soon in our region: that youth conferences release and channel the society-building power that emerges when many souls walk the path of service together.
