INTERMOUNTAIN YEARLY MEETING

We will have rich programs for our youth. We would love to have elementary school age children, their parents and guardians, and volunteers join us for this dynamic summer program based in Quaker Faith and Practice!
The primary purpose of Children’s Yearly Meeting is to create a safe and nourishing space where young people can build community and explore shared values. Our program this summer will explore themes of weaving and belonging through storytelling, art, and imaginative play.
Children’s Yearly Meeting program coordinator: Elizabeth Freyman (she/her) is a long-time educator with experience working in Waldorf and Montessori schools. She has been leading the First Day School and youth programs at Albuquerque Monthly Meeting since 2018.

The Junior Young Friends (JYF) program is an intensive community building experience of sharing fun and friendship, exploring peace and justice, and practicing spirit-led business and worship sharing. We will have discussions, an out trip, games, and skits. Our theme project is about how we contribute to family and community, and will include creating artistic expressions of those leadings. Youth may seek a sponsoring family if their family is not able to attend.

Junior Young Friends Coordinator:

With the support of Friendly Adult Presences, Senior Young Friends (SYFs) invite Senior Young Friends from around the yearly meeting to join us for days of late rising, 10:30am, and late nights with an all-nighter on Saturday.  We will hang out at a lake, have a trip into town, spend time at the college Rec. Center, maybe create a skit for Creativity Night and probably have a business meeting or two.  Each night we will continue our tradition of having worship sharing. Is anyone up for playing psychiatrist? 

SYF Co-Clerks: William Viavant (he/him), Sam Prewett (he/him)
