The 2009 Youth Ministries Committee of Friends General Conference 

"The power of the Spirit moved amongst us and we knew that whatever our differences, there is an amazing love that unites us."

Micah Bales at the YAF conference on Building Sustainable Community

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 the Youth Ministries Coordinator at emi.see.email.@fgcquaker.org.
