What is an induction ceremony?
➢An induction ceremony is a ceremony where Adventist Youth
are admitted into the local Youth clubs and into the
fellowship of the world wide Youth clubs.
➢Youths and staff have the opportunity to publicly show their
commitment to the principles and objectives of Youth clubs.
➢Promises are made and principles are recited, at

of commitment and purpose.
