2025 SCYM Workshop Submissions
We invite you to submit a proposal for workshops that align with our theme, "Creating Collective Integrity Through Personal Experience." This theme explores how our personal struggles, actions, and leadings can inspire positive change within our communities and beyond. Workshops should reflect on how individual experiences contribute to shared responsibility and collective action, fostering integrity in our personal and communal lives. Whether your focus is spiritual reflection, practical action, or creative expression, we welcome diverse ideas to inspire and empower the SCYM community.
Due date for workshop proposals: 2/24/25 - Click "Read more" for the workshop submission form.

Dear SCYM'ers:
The first draft of our SCYM Faith and Practice is now ready for your review. There will be a workshop at 2023 SCYM Annual Sessions in which Friends can ask questions of the committee and bring suggestions for editing. We will not be asking for a decision to adopt this as our Faith and Practice at this time.
Friends should know that this document has been a long time coming with the work of many Friends. Let us express gratitude to the committee that has worked hard to bring it to us and the many others who participated in this process along the way.
Now it is all of our responsibility to review it and discern if it reflects the faith and practice of the meetings in South Central Yearly Meeting. See the SCYM Faith and Practice draft here.
