Junior Yearly Meeting (JYM) is a gathering of young Friends and any young people interested in Quakerism in Ireland aged 14-18 (participants must be known to Quakers and must turn 14 by the end of 2026). We come together to meet, discuss, debate, and learn together. There are many fun social activities too.
A couple of years ago, a new practice was established of inviting a Young Friend from Britain JYM to Ireland JYM and vice versa. It is hoped this will be a good way to help foster connections between young people in the two Yearly Meetings in these islands.
JYM 2026 will be taking place during 2-6 April 2026 at the Moyallon Centre near Portadown in Northern Ireland.
You can find some more information in this JYM2026 flyer.
