To Friendly Adult Menors past and present, Young Adult Friends, and Young Friends of yore,
As many (or most) of you personally know, BYM YF and JYF cons are wonderful spaces for young people to find love, community, and a place to be themselves. These weekend events are not possible without adults to support them, and these adults need some training!
There will be online FAM trainings covering the Youth Safety Policy and general expectations of FAMs at JYF and YF cons offered on Sunday, February 22nd @ 2pm or Wednesday, February 25th @ 7pm. These two trainings will be the same.
In addition to our virtual trainings, I'm thrilled to announce a new and exciting event: FAM CON!
What is FAM con you ask? It is a chance for Friends to get together and spend a weekend laughing, singing, and relaxing as a community. We will have a JYF or YF con experience of our very own where we can walk through the experience of a weekend sleeping in a meetinghouse, eating communal meals, and playing games of all kinds.
FAM con will be Saturday, March 7th - Sunday, March 8th at Stony Run Friends Meeting in Baltimore, MD and is free to registered attendees! Registration will open soon on the BYM website.
You will not be required to attend a future JYF or YF con; if you are even a little interested in being on the FAM roster, please come and get trained!
BYM JYFs and YFs are funny, compassionate, all around amazing, and they need YOU to make their weekends happen!
Email me with any thoughts or questions, and I hope to see you soon!
Love and light,
Genevieve Legowski
P.S. If you are a current or recently graduated Young Friend, please pass this along to the older adults in your life!
