Ignite the spark within you
and bring light unto others
EMPOWER is a missionary and faith-based development program for young adults ages 18-30 to help them find and live their faith by growing their hearts and love for God, True Parents, and others.
character/identity development
Engage with God’s Words
During our program, we offer a strong foundation in our core teachings. Participants are introduced to the basics and, throughout the year, can deepen their understanding through seminars on the Divine Principle, True Parents’ teachings, and their life course.
You will deep dive into the core of Unificationist teaching, as you study and practice to give your own lectures. During the outreaching portion of the program you will have the opportunity to share and discuss with others what you learned.
As you engage with the content of the Unificationist teachings you will get the opportunity to develop your own faith and ground your identity within.

Expand your worldview and experience serving others
Learn about a new culture, language, and people by traveling to different communities in Europe. Through experiencing a culture different from your own grow your heart of service by finding creative ways to give to the community.
You will take ownership in volunteer service, organize your own projects as a team, and inviting others to join your initiatives and practice serving the community in areas of need. Share your knowledge of the Divine Principle and inspire others to experience living a life for the sake of others.
Our Year's Focus
Angela Ciuca
1st Year Participant
(2025-26)
Empower became one of the most meaningful experience of my life. Thanks to Empower, I could deeply strengthen my faith and better understand God and True Parents, which changed my future and perspective within the movement.
During this experience, I learned that with God everything is possible, even the things that once felt too difficult for me. Empower helped me grow not only spiritually, but also personally: I became more confident, more disciplined, more responsible, and learned how to truly be myself.
One of the most important lessons for me was learning how to say no and how to live more genuinely. The environment constantly challenges you to grow, and at the same time you are surrounded by brothers and sisters who inspire and support you every day, and you cannot stay the same person.
Through Empower, I could truly practice the meaning of living for the sake of others and understand what it means to live with and for God. At the same time, I built long-term friendships that became like a real family to me, full of love, support, and unforgettable memories.

I must say that Empower made me aware of many things around me, like life and the movement. However, the most valuable teaching I got was that nothing works if both sides do not play their roles; if there is no give and take, there will be no movement, action, or energy….
This was a major obstacle in my relationship with our Heavenly Parent. I had a vague concept of who HP was, how HP could be manifested, or what kind of plan HP had….
I realized that it was necessary to understand my actions first in order to get closer to HP, and something that helped me a lot were the self-reflections and the people I met throughout the program, who not only inspired me by example but also pushed me when I did not have the determination to take the next step. It is totally different if we are able to have a broader point of view and, in that way, love our brothers and sisters as HP would.
The point is that you can improve only if you want to and take some action. Also, we should never forget that our HP is always waiting for us and is doing everything possible to reach us.
