Read More About It:
How can adults support and build relationships with youth in a Friendly way? How can adults support each other to be allies to young people? How can we attract and keep young people involved in our Meetings? What does it take to be a “FAP” (Friendly Adult Presence) at a Quaker teen gathering?
These workshops will include resources on outreach and on being an ally to youth; specific discussion about serving as a “FAP”; worship-sharing about experiences, hopes, fears, and wonderings; games (because everyone needs to PLAY!); and activities to explore scenarios and develop skills.
