Take Part (14-30)
There are a number of ways that you can take part and connect to both Quaker and other opportunities:
- How to volunteer for events for children and young people (16+)
- Research opportunities to be involved in decisions that affect you and the organization you are part of (14-21)
- Getting involved in activism
- Work from the Be the Change resource (11-18) through to study bursaries and events and voluntary opportunities (for young adults)
Facilitation and Leadership (16-21)
Takes place annually in autumn.
The weekend is a dynamic combination of theory and opportunities to apply learning about Facilitation and Leadership using practical activities. There will be discussions, activities, group work, role-plays and video clips.
“Probably the most useful weekend I have ever attended, it will be incredibly valuable in the outside world."
