Jain Organization of Youth (JOY) JOY was founded in 1993 as the youth wing of the Jain Society of Greater Detroit. The intent was to empower the youth of our community by providing them with a platform that they could use to spread and enhance awareness of Jain religion and to promote social and community service. It was also conceived as a support system for our youth through the sometimes difficult teenage years, where they could share their experiences and concerns with each other. Since its founding JOY has matured into an organization with vitality and purpose. It is now an integral part of Jain community and makes meaningful contributions to its parent organization through its periodic events. These events broadly fall into three categories – religious, social and community service. Religious events include the Navkar Jaap on Thanksgiving Day, Snatra Puja and helping the society during Paryushan and other important occasions. JOY members have been very successful in spreading awareness of Jain principles such as non-violence, so relevant in these times, among their peers in schools and communities. Social events are organized to encourage bonding and friendship among our youth. These include a winter camp, lock-in, and general body meetings. During the winter camp - a much anticipated event on the JOY calendar - members travel away for a weekend and enjoy outdoor activities as well as mediated religious and social discussions. Community service events teach the ideals of volunteering and social responsibility. Some of the events undertaken recently include Christmas in Action and World Medical Relief. Through these events, our youth have made a positive contribution that has been much appreciated by the recipients. We would like to thank all parents, EC and BOT members for their support in the past. Because of their support, JOY is now a vibrant and purposeful organization that has much to offer. If you have children who are or will soon be 13, please encourage them to become members. Membership forms are available in the temple office. back to top
