PYM Youth at the Bucks Peace Fair: September 17-18!
***NOTE: 8th Grade students are invited to join the high school group for this event this year!
Quaker and Quaker-friendly youth are invited to be part of the Young Friends team helping to support the Bucks Peace Fair again this year.
In addition to the opportunity to accrue community service hours, this is a wonderful opportunity to be with other youth who care about activism and identify as Friends and friends of Friends. Youth Programs staff and volunteer Friendly Presences will support young people with the service part of the day on Saturday, and lead an evening program for them once the service is done! We hope to host an overnight retreat Saturday-Sunday at a local meetinghouse close to the Peace Fair with a pizza party, games, and fellowship for youth. Please indicate your interest in the overnight on the registration below.
Service clubs and groups from schools are welcome!

Registration Deadline: September 12
Note: All MSF participants need to have a Health/Permission form filled out when registering for in-person and overnight programs. This will be on file all year and is good for all events from Annual Sessions in July through the following June, when there will be an updated form due.
The PYM website calendar will include all MSF events and they are also posted on the MSF Facebook page. Online programs are being offered at no charge during this time. In-person MSF programs are generally $40 for a one-night overnight and $75 for a weekend retreat. Scholarships are always available through a special fund for youth programs.
Youth-Led Meeting for Worship (on pause)
Quaker youth in Grades 6th-12th are invited to worship together in a youth-centered space.
The 30-minute online worship will be hosted by PYM Youth Programs staff and youth will have care of meeting for the community. All youth are invited: current participants in the Middle School Friends and Young Friends programs, and Friends new to the PYM youth community. This is a youth-centered space, and registration is for youth in Grades 6-12. The two staff members who will host the online space will be responsible for Zoom and following PYM online youth safety guidelines. Youth members of our Youth Programs community, like the Young Friends Nurture Committee, will have care of worship.
