Who We Are
The Family, Youth, and Children Spiritist Education (FYCSE) Department is a department of the United States Spiritist Federation (USSF), established in 2019 to address the unique and evolving educational needs of children, youth, and families within the Spiritist movement.
FYCSE is dedicated to supporting the teaching and learning of Spiritism in ways that are meaningful, age-appropriate, and applicable to daily life. Our work centers on helping families, educators, and Spiritist centers cultivate the skills needed to understand and apply Spiritist principles within the home, across generations, and within the broader community. We aim to support individuals and families as they navigate life’s experiences through the lens of Spiritist philosophy, ethics, and moral growth.
Mission & Goals
FYCSE collaborates with Spiritist centers and groups throughout the United States to identify ongoing needs, develop and centralize educational resources, and create opportunities for training, exchange, and networking. Through this collaborative approach, we seek to strengthen Spiritist education efforts nationwide and promote consistency, quality, and innovation in family, youth, and children’s programming.
Additionally, FYCSE serves as a representative of the United States at the international level, contributing to global dialogue and collaboration in Spiritist education. By building bridges among Spiritist centers and groups across the country and gathering meaningful data and insights, the department strives to foster unity, encourage cooperation, and support the continued dissemination and growth of Spiritism in the United States.

We are thrilled to present our Lesson Plan Project, a collaborative effort made possible by the dedication of youth educators from Spiritist centers across the United States. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to these educators from the Spiritist Centers listed below for sharing their experiences, ideas, and time, which have been instrumental in creating new materials in English, for spiritist children and youth. We are also grateful for the fraternal partnership with FEB, the Brazilian Spiritist Federation (Federação Espírita Brasileira), who generously donated their educational workbooks to serve as inspiration for this lesson plans project.
This project is an ongoing endeavor, and we welcome all English-speaking Spiritist educators to join us in this collaborative effort. Whether you’re interested in sharing ideas, creating new lessons, or volunteering in various other capacities, your contributions are welcome. Together, we can continue to inspire and support each other in our spiritist educational journeys.
As you explore the new lessons posted below (organized by age), please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions, feedback, or suggestions for this project.
May the presence of Jesus continue to guide our lives and make our meetings bloom with joy and beauty.
Thank you,
– The Lesson Plan Project Team

“In life, we are all sowers… Some sow flowers and discover beauty, perfumes, and fruits. Others sow thorns and hurt themselves in their spikes. Nobody lives without sowing, either good or evil… Blessed are those who leave seeds of love, kindness, affection, wherever they go…” – Amelia Rodrigues, Divaldo Franco
