History

In August of 2024, around 50 Young Adult Friends
were brought together before the all age
World Plenary Meeting of Quakers to experience
international connection and fellowship.
Coming together in faith, we were inspired by the
past World Gatherings of Young Adult Friends (1985
and 2005) and decided to start a World Executive
Committee of Young Adult Friends (WECYAF).

place at the table without needing to adopt
the same identity.
