 The FGC Gathering is a great place for young adults’ spiritual exploration, with opportunities to be involved in both a young adult community and an all-age community of Friends. Read more about the Adult Young Friends program.
Spread the Word!
This is a great time to reach out to a young adult who you haven’t seen at meeting for a while. Perhaps they are away at school, or perhaps they have drifted away from the meeting. Let them know that you’d like them to go to the Gathering, and that financial aid is available.
Full Scholarships for PYM First-Time and Long-Absent Young Adults
If you are a young adult who has never attended the FGC Gathering, or you last attended in 2009 or earlier, then you are eligible for as much as a FULL scholarship while funds remain. A full scholarship covers your program fee, three meals a day in the cafeteria, and housing in a shared room. You are also eligible for a scholarship to fully cover the costs of the pre-Gathering Adult Young Friends (AYF) retreat.
 Bonus Scholarships for PYM Returning Young Adults
If you have attended the Gathering any year between 2010 and 2013, you are eligible for a bonus scholarship of up to $75 in addition to the standard $321 maximum scholarship from FGC.
Scholarships for the Pre-Gathering AYF Retreat
All young adults in the PYM region may request a scholarship for the full costs of attending the June 28 Adult Young Friends Retreat.
Worried That You Are Not a Member of a PYM Meeting?Young adults in the PYM region who have been involved with Friends are eligible for this special financial assistance, whether or not they are members of PYM meetings. This includes people who have gone to Friends schools and Friends camps.
 What is the PYM Region?
The PYM region includes the eastern half of Pennsylvania, Delaware, eastern Maryland, and most of New Jersey.
