The focus : LIFE Institute invigorates young adults, 19 to 39 years of age, to “get involved” in community-based initiatives designed to engage dialogues among all people of good will. Together we engage systemic change in both the sacred and secular arenas. The focus : LIFE Institute calls for the training and development of transformative leaders. Our intuition is to “see” violence in all its forms, to “judge” ways to respond to the effects and get to the root cause. The outcome envisioned is young adults rooted in values “act” to inspire their peers through forgiving; raising hope and building peace in their neighborhoods.
Since 1974, the focus : LIFE retreat process has been at the “heart of Life Directions in its work with young adults “at risk,” ages 18–39. It encapsulates the vision of Life Directions — “Peers inspiring peers through forgiving.”
