Journey to Adulthood is a four-year program for youth consisting of two sections, each lasting two years. Students attend Rite-13 for the first two years, and J2A for the last two years. Through an in-depth exploration of the “4 S’s” (Self, Society, Sexuality, and Spirituality), students and leaders create a community that explores the skills needed for adulthood, celebrates their individuality, and develops their creative potential.

Classes aim to not only cover subject material in a thought-provoking manner, but to enable the youth to form a community of peers in which they find friendship and a safe, nonjudgmental place. Using the tool of J2A to walk with youth into adulthood, Trinity finds that the youth are not walking out the door, but are thinking of Trinity as their own.

The youths’ consistent class presence enables the program to achieve its potential. We stress the importance of regular attendance so they can get to know one another and their teachers, and form a community. This community foundation provides a feeling of security and confidence when delving into topics that relate to their daily lives and spiritual formation.
