Reflection Points

Reflection is a key part of the Faith in Action Award, helping young people connect their service to their faith. Alongside earning service credits, participants take part in six hours of guided reflection, exploring themes of Love and Service. These sessions, led by adults, support personal growth and encourage young people to consider how their actions shape both themselves and the world around them.
