Philadelphia Yearly Meeting’s Children’s Programming provides opportunities for children in grades K-5 to gather for worship, fun, fellowship, learning, and service.  Bringing kids together from many Monthly Meetings, we endeavor to form lifelong bonds to community, to God, and to the Society of Friends.

PYM’s children’s program is formulated on the concept of Servant Leadership- ensuring that the children’s spirit and leadings can be followed through the simple and direct teachings of Quaker process. In addition, there is a focus on developing the capacity of Friends who work with kids, and the family unit as a spiritual community.

With events throughout the year, the Yearly Meeting supports and values its children as essential members of our religious society.

For the second year in a row, thanks to support from the Education Standing Committee, children entering 8th Grade and Younger may attend Annual Sessions for free! The Education Standing Committee has budgeted $8,000 for scholarships for children attending Annual Sessions, to cover the program fee, housing and the meal served at Arch Street Meeting House each day.  Additional scholarship money is also available for Young Friends and adults, so the cost of Sessions should not keep anyone away.
