We Are the Youth Section

The Youth Section in North America is a regional branch of the Global Youth Section, itself one of the 12 sections of the School of Spiritual Science. We are dedicated to creating welcoming spaces where young people can inspire each other and encounter anthroposophy and community. In the past year a new wave of young people, inspired by and working with the ideas of anthroposophy, have become active in organizing and collaborating. 

In 2024 there were two conferences organized by the North American Youth Section, as well as workshops, study groups, art initiatives, and service projects, each seeking to provide a container for meaningful encounters for spiritually striving young people. These gatherings serve as vessels to meet other young people, facilitate collaboration and provide impetus for creative, responsible action in the world. Groups have formed in study of Steiner’s texts including the Philosophy of Freedom, How to Know Higher Worlds, and The Threefold Social Order, giving foundation to powerful initiatives that have continued to grow. 

There are also online study groups and meetings which are a meeting point for folks across the country and continent to meet, share ideas, and support each other. Our many lively Telegram chats are a hub where folks can spread the word about gatherings and opportunities, and share what they are doing. 

The North American Youth Section is committed to providing travel and registration assistance for young people to attend anthroposophical workshops and conferences throughout the year, as well organizing gatherings where young people can meet and connect to the ideals of anthroposophy, as well as carrying those ideals into action in the world! 

This expanding group of young people pursuing meaningful work in the world is working together to build a network of mutually supportive initiatives and individuals that serves to empower one another and connect us to our future collaborators and friends. Many opportunities await!
