This program is designed for young people serious about serving as leaders in their communities, developing the tools for social transformation, and living a life grounded in God’s Spirit.

The YALD program consists of three major parts:

YALD participants will be a part of the residential community of Pendle Hill, a community dedicated to serving, learning, and growing. Each participant will be paired with a local service organization and work two days a week as a volunteer. Participants will take classes; all will participate in the core curriculum and have the option to enroll additionally in electives. Each course will engage themes of spiritual formation, religious tradition, and works of justice.

The program will run from June 15 through August 3, 2008. Participants will be living residentially at Pendle Hill for those seven weeks. The program is fully supported by Pendle Hill and all program costs, plus room and board expenses, are covered. A small stipend is also provided.

The program is coordinated by Zachary Moon, a life-long Quaker originally from Berkeley , California . Zachary has worked among Quakers at the local, regional, and national levels, leading workshops in the Bible and in Quaker tradition, theology, and practice, and building vibrant generationally-accessible community. He has worked for non-profit faith-oriented social justice organizations on the West Coast and in the South. He is currently a student at Chicago Theological Seminary. This is his second year coordinating the YALD program.
