The Children’s Religious Education programming for PYM offers support, programs and resources to Friends serving children
  Sharing Ideas & Providing Resources
Children’s RE works to provide Meetings and First Day Schools with the information and resources that support their ability to care for their children. Examples include this website, the newsletter Making Space, shepherding articles into the PYM News, and connecting Friends and Meetings to each other when they share concerns.
  Monthly Meeting Support and Consultation
The Children’s RE Coordinator is available to Monthly Meetings to help them with any issues or needs they have in nurturing the spiritual lives of their children. These consultations range from simple telephone conversations to visits to FDS committees to workshops for Meetings. See RE Coordinator’s contact information on the sidebar.
