Newtown, PA. December 2009. Caitlin Brimmer and Emma James, co-clerks of the Quaker Youth Leadership 2010 Steering Committee have invited Andy Cohen, Director of the Bridge Film Festival, to be this year's keynote speaker. The theme for the event is "Quaker Values: Letting Our Lives Speak." Ms. Brimmer asked Andy if he would talk about the spiritual aspects of his work and explain how he lets his life "speak" through his work. Andy replied that having attended four QYLCs in the past, he was honored to be considered for this opportunity and was willing to speak to the spiritual aspects of his work as a teacher and film festival director. About the 13th Annual Quaker Youth Leadership Conference:
QYLC is an "energizing tradition that brings together students from Friends high schools around the world for an intensive retreat focusing on supporting, cultivating and connecting leadership through service, integrity and community."
"George School is expecting over 130 students from more than 20 Friends high schools around the United States and beyond to gather for three days of learning, activism, service, community-building and fun. (Yes, fun!) Each Friends high school is invited to send up to seven participants, including at least one faculty chaperon. For the registration form, click on the Registration link."
