Purchase Meeting

 

I want Friends in New York Yearly Meeting to know about a new intergenerational project YSOP (Youth Service Opportunities Project) has started. Many Friends from my meeting, Purchase, have participated, as have other senior citizens and young people from New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.

Dear Friend,

 

We’ve been having conversations for a while now. I’m so happy with how the NYYM mentorship program was able to connect us. So much of it is because we are so similar in some fundamental ways and it gives us common ground to connect on all the ways we’re not.
