Junior Yearly Meeting 2025
23 - 26 May 2025, Wellingborough
Junior Yearly Meeting (JYM) is a welcoming, exciting and thought-provoking event for young people that is open to anyone born between 1 September 2006 and 31 August 2009. JYM 2025 will be a residential event at the Frontier Centre in Northamptonshire.
Whether you have recently discovered Quakerism or have been a Quaker all your life, JYM offers the opportunity to meet new people, make friends through social activities and engage with spiritual practices and ideas.
The event is run by young people, who are supported by a team of adults.
JYM PLACES
There are two ways to come to JYM, by nomination or by an open place.
Nominated places:
Young people are "nominated" to attend the event. This means that area meetings, Quaker schools or overseas yearly meetings ask young people whether they would like to attend.
Nominate a young person to attend JYM

- JYM 2025 nominations letter (Word)

If a young person would like to be nominated to come to JYM, speak to your meeting clerk or headteacher (Quaker schools). If you don't know your meeting clerk, contact the Young People's Administration & Project Officer (details below) and they will be happy to put you in touch.
