The Unification Church of Reverend Sun Myung Moon (Moonies) has three programs to support youth. The first is "Religious Youth Service" which provides a forum for youth to put aside doctrinal differences and unite in activities of service. Second is the Youth Seminar on World Religions (YSWR), each summer international and interreligious groups of 150 students and professors travel around the world together, visiting important religious cities and studying at those locations the traditions of Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Unificationism. Third is the Youth Federation for World Peace founded Reverend Sun Myung Moon in 1994. The federation is dedicated to the belief that peaceful families are the foundation for peaceful societies, peaceful nations, and a peaceful world. Through its initiatives to inspire youth, the group promotes the values of filial piety, premarital celibacy, marital fidelity, and public service to humanity. Members engage in community service projects around the world. Projects must be appropriate to the needs and diverse perspectives of that culture. To encourage environmental responsibility the federation educates youth to actively protect and reclaim the natural world as both our refuge and our inspiration. Every few years the organization convenes world conferences and enjoys the participation of people from up to 164 countries.
