The Rites of Passage address our concerns about the noticeable lack of self-esteem, self-image, and the lack of positive experience
among a majority of youth. “Rites of Passage” is literally a permission, or right, or chance to move to a higher level of human, social, and educational development. That permission, right, or chance is granted by the community or society and signi? es the successful
completion of a developmental process and the earning of respect of the community for having done so.
