Quaker Teen Meetup at Framingham Friends Meeting

​Join Quaker teens from the Boston area / east of Worcester for an afternoon of connection and fun! After the first meetup in Wellesley this fall, it became clear that there is lots of warm and hopeful energy for Quaker teens to gather with their nearby peers, and we're excited that these meetups can become a regular thing. A meetup is great for middle and high schoolers who want to connect to Quaker community in a small group for a shorter amount of time than our typical weekend retreats. We play games, get to know each other more deeply through conversation and play, we sing, and find out from the group what other ways we'd like to connect on any given day. Those who are new or unsure about Quakerism are especially welcome!

​Everyone must be fully vaccinated in order to participate, and those who are eligible for a Covid booster shot are required to get one before joining if at all possible. We will spend as much time outdoors as possible, so wear lots of layers and snow gear! We will mask and distance whenever we are indoors, check for symptoms at arrival, and eat snacks outside.

​If enough parents express interest in connecting with one another, then we will also host an opportunity for parents to have their own fun and conversation separate from their teens, hosted by Denny Dart. If you're interested in this, indicate that on your teen's registration and we'll send more details once we have enough parent interest!

​Register by Thursday January 6th. In addition to registering here, all participants must have a health & permission form on file for this year in order to attend (if you've already attended an in-person NEYM youth program event this year, you should be all set). Download the form here and either email it to Maggie or bring it to the meetup.

​Gretchen Baker-Smith will be the point person to reach out to the day of the meetup. Before then, you can contact Maggie Fiori with questions.
