Attention Young Adult Friends!

My name is Naman Hampton. I'm the Conference Assistant at Friends General Conference, helping to plan the annual Gathering of Friends. I'm posting to Quakeryouth.org to let you know that FGC is actively soliciting proposals for workshops at the 2008 Gathering in Johnstown, PA.

In recent years, more and more Young Adults (age 18-35) have begun to attend the FGC Gathering, but workshops led by Young Adult participants continue to be under-represented among the proposals received by the Workshop Committee. With your involvement, that pattern can change!

As Young Adults, we can offer a unique and vital perspective to share with the wider world of Quakerism. I hope you'll seriously consider leading a workshop at the Gathering, or perhaps think of someone you know who might be interested. Previous workshops have focused on topics such as writing, art, music, movement, race, class, gender, sexuality, activism, faith, history, and more. What's your passion? Do you have a leading you feel called to share with others?

The deadline for applications is October 29th, so start planning soon! Also, it would be helpful to the workshop committee if you completed this brief Intent to Submit form before September 15. Workshop leaders receive a substantial discount in the overall costs, and are eligible for further scholarship funding.
