Junior Yearly Meeting 2016

2 - 6 April 2016, Wellingborough

“I feel empowered to make a difference and that I can make a difference" JYM Participant

JYM is an awesome, welcoming and thought provoking event for young people across Britain. Whether you've been a Quaker all your life or have recently discovered Quakerism, JYM offers everybody the opportunity to meet new people, make friends and find spiritual inspiration.

“I have found a new sense of strength and calm inside myself and discovered a real joy in other people"JYM Participant

The event is run by 15 – 18 year olds, who are supported by a team of adults in the planning and the delivery of the event. This year JYM happens separately from Britain Yearly Meeting. The theme for this year's event is “Inner light: opening and inspiring us?" which links to issues being considered at Britain Yearly Meeting (BYM) at the end of May.

For more information about JYM, please see the leaflet written by the young people organising JYM 2016.

Junior Yearly Meeting 2016

Junior Yearly Meeting (JYM) is a Quaker event for 15-18 year olds born between 1.9.1997 and 31.8.2000. You can attend JYM through and Area Meeting nomination or by applying for an open place.

Area Meeting nominations

JYM is a representative event: the young people attending represent their Area Meeting, Quaker School or Yearly Meeting. Nominations information was mailed to all Area Meeting Clerks in September, and the closing date for nominations was 16 December 2015. There are still places available for young people to attend JYM.

Open places

Most of the places at JYM are available for nominees. You should first check whether you can be nominated. You can do this by speaking to your Area Meeting Clerk or Headteacher, who should be able to tell you who to talk to. If a nomination is not possible, there are also open places available for direct application. To apply for an open place, please click on the blue 'Register your place' button.

Come along, it'll be amazing!
