For several years prior to the establishment of The Christian Science Monitor Youth Forums, as announced on May 7, 1946, The Christian Science Board of Directors received much correspondence on the subject of social activities among young Christian Scientists. It was learned that about seven hundred clubs had been organized by our young people in the United States and Canada. It became clear that many of these groups needed guidance in their efforts to uphold the ideals of Christian Science in their activities. The establishment of the Headquarters Secretary for The Christian Science Monitor Youth Forums at 237 Huntington Avenue, Boston, is intended to meet this need.

These forums are not official activities of The Mother Church or its branches, but they are activities of groups of young Christian scientists which have the sympathetic interest of the Board of Directors, provided certain standards, which are set up for them through the office of the Headquarters Secretary, are maintained.

The forums are being organized and run entirely by the young people themselves along democratic lines. Their purpose is "to provide young Christian Scientists with an opportunity for understanding The Christian Science Monitor; to promote the ideals for which it stands, namely, 'to injure no man, but to bless all mankind' (The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 353), and to provide co-operative, cultural, and social activity."
