Part of YJA's mission is to establish a network of Jain youths so that they can share and embrace their heritage. Young Jains of the Triangle and the Jain Center of North Carolina have taken a noble venture in fulfilling part of the YJA mission not only by hosting this convention but also by teaching youths about "Jainism: Eastern Philosophy, Western Practice."
