20 Oct Announcement: Youth/Teen Rights of Passage Class
Every society has a way of allowing individuals within that society to make the transition from childhood to adulthood. The people of Africa (Yoruba in this case) have six (6) major graduations known as Rites of Passage (ROP). They are birth, 7 years old, formal education, career, marriage, parenting, and death.
This ROP program established by Iyalode Yeyefini Efunbolade in 1992 is geared towards preparing the youth with vital knowledge, systems, tools and power to enable them to know their rights and responsibilities as they enter into adulthood. The students will be taught how to go within and face their emotions and respond to those emotions by creating solutions through guidance from the inner self.
The ROP will allow the youth to address and mobilize against some of the negative effects they face as teens.
This experience will give them the tools to avoid the use of drugs, liquor, and other forms of addiction that are very prevalent in today’s society and teen culture.

Posted at 22:17h, 20 OctoberDear Mother Yeyefini,
This is so beautiful for our youth and so needed in our society. We also have many that are missed and that group could be between 19 – 25. Why do I choose that age group? We have so many young folks here in the western world that are late bloomers and doing adult things with a child’s mindset. Please consider adding that to your list of classes. I believe it will have an impact.
