Ways to Connect
The aim of these 'ways to connect' cards is to promote and develop the way adult members think about the place of young Friends (12+) in their meeting.
These cards present detailed ideas for discussion around creating meaningful intergenerational connections. Whether young people are new to your meeting, or you are hoping that some may attend or you want to take a fresh look at how adults in your meeting appreciate young Quakers, this is a great starting point.

Where are the Young People?
The aim of this conversation starter is to get you thinking and talking. How you use it is up to you. This might be in a Quaker meeting, church meeting, elders meeting or a small group setting; perhaps during worship or café church; even just to prompt you to have deeper conversations with a friend about your shared concern about the apparent absence of young people.
This material was developed in partnership by the United Reformed Church and Quakers in Britain.
Each page begins with a short introduction followed by prompts to get you started. There's some material for worship or reflection, questions to provoke deeper thinking, suggestions for first steps and community gatherings, plus links to other useful resources.
