The Foundations on Our Path Toward Atonement, Peace, Joy and Healing

Drawing inspiration from Viktor Frankl’s insight that “Those who have a ‘why’ to live, can bear with almost any ‘how,’” we recognize that purpose isn’t just spiritual idea — it’s a pathway to resilience. When young people discover that they can choose their response to life, they access their greatest freedom: the power to shape their own meaning.
In our work with youth, we don’t just teach conflict resolution or emotional skills — we help them awaken a sense of purpose and belonging. When a young person realizes their life has meaning, healing begins instantly. They are no longer reacting to what has happened to them; they are building who they are becoming.
This is why spiritual justice matters: when we empower young people to see themselves as valuable, capable, and needed by their community, in spite of what they may have experienced, we fast-track their healing. Their peace becomes power, and their growth becomes a gift they offer back to the world.
