Junior Yearly Meeting Teenagers are invited to participate in Junior Yearly Meeting (JYM). In keeping with Friends’ practices, JYMers select officers and committees as needed, hold business meetings, meetings for worship, worship sharing, and come together in community though fun activities and games. JYMers generally range in age from 13 to 18. However, the age ranges are only guidelines for selecting which program to participate in; the choice to participate in JYM should be made by the youth and their parent. Some people move up earlier, while others who are less interested in attending business meetings choose to stay in the Middle School program longer. Supervision is provided by adults serving as "Friendly Adult Presences" ("FAPs"). We are always looking for more FAPs (see the flyer in the registration packet). For all attenders under the age of 18 - an adult sponsor or a parent must be on site at all times for each person under the age of 18, including day attenders. They must be under the supervision of that adult or signed in to a program at all times. A signed medical release form must be turned in to program staff for the child or teen to participate and the sponsor must sign the sponsored minor’s registration form. Please note on the registration form if your teen will be sleeping in the puppy pile (common space) with the JYMers who chose to sleep there. Parents of younger JYMers also have the option of staying in the Buckeye Lodge with their teens which is immediately adjacent to where the JYM puppy pile will be. FAPs will stay up late with the teens but there will not be around the clock supervision. After the FAPs go to bed parents or sponsors are responsible for their JYMers. |
