Youth
The Quaker Youth Pilgrimage enables young Friends ages 16–18 to learn about Quaker history and process, develop a stronger relationship with God and experience the diversity of Friends’ traditions and worship while traveling, living and working together for a month during the summer. Jointly sponsored by the Section of the Americas and the Europe and Middle East Section, the pilgrimage takes place once every two years.
An FWCC youth pilgrimage is an opportunity to…
- Develop your relationship with God
- Gain understanding of Quaker process
- Explore Quaker history
- Experience different Friends’ traditions and forms of worship
- Form a community and lasting friendships
- Participate in a service project
The ongoing work of the Youth Committee of FWCC Section of the Americas is to focus on supporting young Friends in ways that are consistent with FWCC’s mission.
