On July 26 and 27th, recent efforts of the BBT Youth For Book Distribution, an Initiative of the BBT MCI Team, will come to fruition in Global Youth Book Distribution Day. This project is being spearheaded by youth, for youth, in order to fulfill the deep desire of Srila Prabhupada that everyone regularly participate in book distribution. On those days, youth (loosely people ages 12-25, but anyone who identifies as “youth” is welcome) will go out with community support to distribute books and get a taste of book distribution in a supportive, safe framework. Youth will work alongside experienced distributors, parents, and temple community members for guidance and support. They will get a chance to engage in door-to-door book distribution as well as book distribution tables to accompany sankirtan.
Local distribution coordinators and youth leaders in each community will organize the logistics, and members of the community will go out along with the youth. The aim is not a one-time event but the beginning of a regular, long-term support system for youth involvement in book distribution. Scores and participation will be tracked so that progress can be measured and improved over time, in line with Vaisesika Prabhu’s principle that “whatever gets measured gets improved.”
