Confirm not Conform explores the beliefs and questions that come from the students themselves. The debate and discussion sparked by the students ignite their faith into something lively and real. CnC takes the idealism and skepticism that co-exist in young people and uses that energy to help youth become engaged with their faith and their community. CnC celebrates young people’s spirituality, creativity and responsibility.
In addition to 16 class sessions, CnC students go on field trips, attend a weekend-long retreat, work with mentors, participate in liturgies, and design and implement a service project as a team.
As a parent I appreciated this program because it gave the kids a chance to see other faiths. It also focused them on their faith during a time that other influences are so strong. Amanda seems stronger in her convictions and her faith after going through this program. A CnC Parent.
We are also running an Adult Confirm not Conform class that focuses on adult questions of faith and provides a platform for parents and their teens to have conversations about the same topics.
