Young Friends North America
YFNA has been pretty dormant these last few years and the few attempts at revival haven't gone anywhere. Very sad, but it's the pattern of most Young Adult Friends groups to dissapate away and then suddenly revive with renewed energy years later. So, if you're looking at this page with sadness that there isn't a YFNA organization, then you should join the yaquaker email list and start organizing the Young Adult Friends near you!
In peace, Martin Kelley (Ninth Month 2000)
