Youth Yearly Meeting (YYM) is designed as a leadership training conference for students involved in the Friends Church who have a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. The main focus is for youth to learn about and experience Quaker business and interact with the adult Yearly Meeting. During the week middle school and senior high school people meet together to worship. They meet separately to practice Quaker business under the leadership of their peers who fill the roles of YYM officers. This is also done with the guidance of encouraging adults. Participation in a service project, a youth facilitated evening worship with the adults, and an overnight trip to the beach all work together to create a well-rounded growth and leadership experience. We invite all youth interested to attend, but encourage churches to seriously consider sending at least one middle school and one senior high student.
Program cost for YYM is $77.00 (room, board, and special activities figured separately-see registration form). Breakfast all five days, Sunday dinner, Beach day lunch, and Thursday dinner are included in the program fee, with students being released during other meal times to make their own arrangements. Students joining us for individual days may join the schedule only at breakfast each day except Sunday. Those planning to attend the Thursday Beach Day may join no later than Wednesday breakfast or they will not be able to go to the beach. An area discount is applicable for room and board when purchased as packaged plans.
