The Saint John of Damascus Orthodox Educational Initiative is the youth organization of the Church of the Genuine Orthodox Christians (GOC) of America. Our mission is to establish in our youth the foundations of an Orthodox Christian worldview. We seek to foster a vibrant and supportive community of educated and discerning Orthodox Christians by providing high-quality education grounded in the Faith, educating the faithful about the dangers of secular education particularly in the public schools, producing a full Orthodox curriculum for grades K-12, and developing connections among the faithful through shared online and in-person learning and fellowship opportunities.
