About YAFs

New England Yearly Meeting Young Adult Friends (or YAFs for short) are a community of Quakers, typically between the ages of 18 and 35, who are woven into the larger body of New England Yearly Meeting. The YAF community serves as a place for both YAFs new to the Religious Society of Friends and Young Friends who have become adults to build an adult relationship with the yearly meeting.

We seek to deepen our faith in God through community, worship, prayer, fellowship, service, eldership, and spiritual friendships. We commit to supporting one another and the YAF community as a whole as we seek to recognize, discern and practice Divine leadings and spiritual gifts and become what God would have us be.

If you have any questions about YAFs, please contact the Nia Thomas, the YAF Coordinator at yf.yafcoord@neym.org or (617) 945-0373.
