Junior Yearly Meeting

Junior Yearly Meeting, or JYM, is an annual gathering for young Quakers (anyone between 14 and 18 — you don’t have to be a Member, just be interested and willing to get involved) from all over the island of Ireland. This year’s theme, ‘What canst thou say: ethical questions for young Friends today’, will be explored through workshops and small-group discussion sessions, with plenty of time left over for games, entertainment and free time to just get to know other young Quakers.  http://www.irishjym.com/
