J2A
Rising 9th & 10th Graders

    Journey to Adulthood (J2A) is the core program, which blends action and contemplation in teaching young people faithful living. To prepare them for adulthood, they learn six basic skills:
  • Active listening
  • Negotiation
  • Assertion
  • Research/information management
  • Partnership
  • Leadership
      The program also helps them understand and affirm Christian living. After two years, they are given an opportunity for Confirmation and are acknowledged in the community as equipped for new levels of responsibility. They are recognized as young adults, rather than children, and invited to make a holy pilgrimage.
