Young Friends of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) is a youth group for high-school aged members and attenders of Monthly Meetings, and their friends, located in eastern and central Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey, Delaware, and the Eastern Shore of Maryland, in the United States. We welcome all interested people who are in grades 9 through 12 or have reached the age of 14 by September 1.
Do I have to be a Quaker to participate? No. We are delighted to have you participate! We are not evangelical. We will not presure you to be a Quaker.

There is also a Young Adult E-mail listserv for those over 18. Philadelphia Young Adult Friends (PYAF) is a group of young adult Quakers (roughly 18-35) and Quaker sympathizers meet together and talk about their experiences and needs as young adults. PYAF seeks to share life experiences and attitudes, and come together as an energetic, supportive community of seekers. They have a foundation in Quaker principles, ethics, and practices. The group meets every other Thursday and Sunday evenings for a potluck meal, fellowship and Meeting for Worship. Different people take turns hosting the gathering. PYAF gatherings are generally in the Philadelphia, with occasional events in the suburbs. Check out their Yahoo Group list serve at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pyaf/ Email pyaf-subscribe@yahoogroups.com to join the listserv and learn where our next event is. Got Questions? |
