Bodhi Youth of America (BYA) begins its journey with a vision to create a nourishing environment for young people to unfold their potential and achieve a balanced and all-embracing lifestyle.
BYA strives to achieve its mission through various program structures such as annual youth camps for summer and winter, mindfulness retreats, and weekend children programs as well as supporting mindful afterschool programs with Bodhi Academy.
BYA is open to anyone who would like to embark on a journey to practice mindfulness and follow the Bodhisattva inspiration to nurture the youth of all gender, ethnicity, and religious beliefs.
Be inspired! Be involved! Become a BYA Member - Youth Leader - Volunteer Staff - or Subject Matter Expert - Financial Donor. We always need compassionate youth leaders. We provide dedicated training to help you become a cool leader. You can also offer your professional expertise to enrich our programs and administration.
Lastly, you could make a financial donation to BYA, sponsor a program, or simply refer a friend to us.
After a long break from the challenging COVID-19 pandemic, we all could use some fresh mountain air and positive interactions to strengthen our inner peace and resiliency; hence, BYA will resume our signature summer youth camps this July 2022!
