**Exciting News: Our Cathedral Hosts Exclusive Alpha Youth Series Focus Group!**
The Cathedral of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus has been selected as the only location in the United States to host a special focus group that will give valuable input on the future of the Alpha Youth Series.
**What is the Alpha Youth Series?**
The Alpha Youth Series is a collection of film episodes that explore some of life’s big questions—like life, faith, and purpose. The series is designed to spark meaningful conversations among young people in a welcoming, non-threatening environment. Each episode is discussed in small groups, ensuring a safe and comfortable space for teenagers to engage and share.
**What is a Focus Group?**
A focus group is a small, selected group of individuals (in this case, teenagers aged 13-18) who come together to share their opinions on the Alpha Youth Series. Led by Rick Grinstead, the discussions will help Alpha’s creative teams understand how the content resonates with young people.
**What Will Participants Do?**
During the focus group, participants will watch portions of Alpha International’s Youth Series and then participate in a moderated discussion about their thoughts and reactions. 
– **Content and Engagement:** Is the content interesting and engaging?
– **Visuals, Sound, and Representation:** Does the production capture your attention?
– **Viewing Preferences:** How do you prefer to watch your favorite shows?This is a unique opportunity for our youth to directly impact a global program, and we are thrilled to be a part of it.
