ABOUT
Who we are

All must surge, but the youth must soar.

Started in 2018 as a grassroots initiative, we are a group of youth, parents, friends and neighbors in Chelsea and surrounding communities who are interested in the material and spiritual advancement of our community.

We offer empowerment programs for youth, children, junior youth and families who are interested in their own development and the betterment of their communities. These programs are part of a global training program and movement of communities, with over 2 million participants worldwide taking ownership of their own development.

STORY
Our Story

See Strive in action

A short film showing how children and teens in the program — many of whom lived in the same neighborhood but had never met — came together, formed bonds of friendship, and studied spiritual concepts such as the importance of service to one's family and society.

Ye are the fruits of one tree, and the leaves of one branch. Deal ye one with another with the utmost love and harmony, with friendliness and fellowship.

— Bahá'í Writings
