An ideal Summer Resident is someone who:

This looks like:

Are you ready to have potentially challenging, nuanced conversations about all different aspects of identity (like gender, race, economic status)? Do you want to learn more about how your identities shape the way you perceive and are perceived by others? Are you interested in creating partnerships for justice and social transformation with people who don’t share all your identities?

Are you committed to working with diverse community members?

We seek young people who have the courage to talk about what privilege and marginalization look like in their lives. We seek participants willing to have potentially challenging and nuanced conversations around different types of identities and who commit to building relationships. 

We seek young people who are ready to explore community partnerships in neighborhoods that may not look like where they grew up.

We invite participants excited about doing fun social activities that are organized around personal and collective exploration.

Are you interested in learning more about drawing strength and peace from a spiritual center? Are you open to exploring the Quaker practice of sitting in silence together to listen for how spirit is moving through this group at this time?

Do you bring a willingness to explore spirituality through embodied Quaker practices?

We seek young people who are excited about spiritual exploration. We seek young people who are willing to try different practices beyond the awkward first impression of trying something new. We seek young adults who want to sit in expectant silence and listen for the “still, small voice” of Spirit.

We seek participants interested in engaging in intergenerational relationships with Quakers (who are often over the age of 50) twice a week.
