Welcome to the Youth Ministries Program site! Youth Ministries supports younger Friends (ages 14-35) and facilitates intergenerational community building amongst Quakers. The priorities for the program are discerned by the Youth Ministries Committee, which was established in January 2006. Since then, we've been working on a number of projects, which are listed in various parts of this site.
We are continually working on resources for individuals and Meetings. If you have ideas for supporting younger Friends or building community, or have written something yourself, please feel free to contact us.
