  • Quaker youth UN Ambassadors Program

    October – November 2025

    Apply today for QEW’s new pilot program, the Quaker Youth UN Ambassadors. This program is intended to equip a cohort of young Friends (ages 14–35) to engage in the UN climate negotiations at COP30 in November 2025 as part of QEW’s online delegation.

  • Earthcare Worship

    Saturday, Sept 6th at 7pm Eastern 

    You are invited to join in worship with attention to the threatened web of life on our beloved planet Earth. We’ll meet on Zoom Saturday, September 6, at 4 PM Pacific/7 PM Eastern. It is intended that an Earthcare worship group will continue to meet regularly on the first Saturday of the month. When we gather in worship, we find it more possible to be fully present to the often painful realities of this moment. We may find solace in our gathered presence.

  • Fall Gathering

    Thursday, October 16th to Sunday, October 19th 

    Save the date of our hybrid Fall Gathering. Each Fall, QEW gathers to worship together, learn from each other, share in fellowship, and do business together. This year, we are gathering at Powell House, a retreat center in Old Chatham, New York. Powell House works to foster spiritual growth after the manner of Friends and to strengthen the application of Friends’ testimonies in the world.

Recurring Events

  • Monthly Worship Sharing

    Typically, Fourth Tuesday of each month, 7 p.m. Eastern time/4 p.m. Pacific time

    In worship sharing, we gather in small groups to focus on a particular query to explore our own experience and share with each other more deeply than we would in normal conversation. It seeks to draw us into sacred space, where we can take down our usual defenses and encounter each other in “that which is eternal.”
