Imagine young people gathered together from across the continent, bringing to life what lies just outside the margins of the comfortable. Can you picture the beauty of their connection and the chance to stir the deeper questions that articulate the soul? And can you feel the power for the future that this connection and collaboration can bring? We can! And that’s why this year, we’re devoting our Spring Appeal to support of Youth Section initiative and activity, and we hope you will help. Your contribution will help young people to form and share sacred space with one another, as they consider questions big and small. Please follow this link to make a one-time or monthly gift today. How are we doing this? We’re working together with Youth Section members to plan and sponsor the upcoming North American Youth conference, Questions of Courage, taking place August 8 -11, 2019 in Spring Valley, NY. People ages 16 - 35 are invited to join together to celebrate, collaborate, learn from one another and gain connections and inspiration to move confidently into the future.
