Quaker Youth Pigrimage to Boliva & Peru
July 22-August 21, 2014
Friends World Committee for Consultation is organizing the 2014 Quaker Youth Pilgrimage, and is looking for teens (age 16-18) and leaders to travel in the Andes (the first Quaker Youth Pigrimage to be held in South America!) At the 2013 PYM Sessions, we received a visit from Bolivian YAFs who especially encouraged Young Adult Friends to apply to be leaders!
The application deadline for leaders is November 15th, 2013; for teen pilgrims the deadline is December 1, 2013. More about the pilgrimage can be found on the FWCC QYP website.
