Youth come together year-round to build community—not in spite of their unique identities but precisely because of them, with a specific focus on their religious values—participating in experiential education where they “learn by doing”. Through this experiential learning, youth become aware of how their beliefs, values, and practices can contribute to a more just and civil society. Mosaic operates out-of-school time programs that are designed to prepare young people to become life-long agents of change.

Program participants grow and develop experiencing four distinct and interrelated modalities of learning:

1) eye opening experiences and relationships,

2) skill and knowledge building,

3) acting for social change together as bridge builders, and

4) developing their own authentic identity, values, and beliefs in line with their vision for a more just peace and equitable world.

These four modalities contribute to a cyclical development of learning for the young person, where they continually deepen their fulfillment of the outcomes through greater engagement with Mosaic programs and community.

OUTCOMES: Mosaic participants fulfill three long-term outcomes that make our vision a reality:

1. Youth identify as members of a diverse and interfaith community

2. Youth bridge divides in their communities and beyond

3. Youth identify and act as social action changemakers

Mosaic youth are active participants in changing our world for the better—not just as future leaders—but as leaders right now. Supported and nourished in a robust and diverse community, they understand their central role in the creation of a better world, both identifying as changemakers and taking action to make their visions for a better world a reality.
