The SEYM Child Safety Training gives Friends the tools to create safe and welcoming spaces for children and youth — in our Monthly Meetings, Worship Groups, and Yearly Meetings. The training lasts about 1.5 hours, and covers best practices in caring for different youth age groups, and how to prevent, recognize, and report child abuse.
Join us online for a workshop with Emily Provance, who will lead us in using stories from the books of Acts as a jumping-off point to discuss listening in tongues, nominations, hospitality and food, welcoming newcomers, spiritual transformation, belonging, prayer, faith, corporate discernment, calls to ministry, pastoral care, and adapting to societal change.

In these three online sessions, we will invite Friends into spacious times of exploration, sharing, and deepening our Quaker faith.
