Certified Training Program

The Certified Training Program or “CTP” is the premiere training course of World Youth Alliance. It covers a collection of texts that provide the philosophical underpinnings for the mission of WYA and presents a summary of philosophical, historical, anthropological, and modern day ideas that focus on the dignity of the person and human rights.

Philosophy
We learn about the core ideas that surround human dignity through great philosophers like Buber and C.S. Lewis. Through this we gain a deeper understanding of the human person in order to defend truth and freedom.

History
Trace the roots of how past and present ideologies continue to shape today’s Global challenges. In addition, we learn to address this through great historical thinkers such as Frankl and Gandhi.

Anthropology
We reflect on what it truly means to be human. This foundation shapes how we foster cultures of life, free and just societies, and policies that put the human person at the forefront.
