FGC GATHERING HIGH SCHOOL STAFF APPLICATION 2024

FGC Gathering will be held this year in Haverford, Pennsylvania from June 30-July 6.

COVID protocols will be in place in order to care for the health of the entire community, and High School Program staff will be expected to model and help implement all safety measures. We are currently updating our COVID policy, and many key aspects are not yet determined for the 2024 Gathering. If you have any questions or concerns about the policy revision, especially if there are any potential policy outcomes that would impact your availability to serve as a counselor, please contact KodyH@FGCQuaker.org.

Please complete this form and press "Send" when you're done.

Essay Questions

If you have served on HS Gathering Staff in the past year, feel free to be brief with your essay responses.

1. Please describe your philosophy of youth work. There is no right answer to this question and we are not looking for anything specific. Please interpret it as you will and answer as genuinely as possible.

2. Please describe your previous experience as a youth worker either with Quaker organizations or other programs.

3. Why do you feel called to the ministry of youth work? Why at FGC Gathering?

4. What are some adjustments you have made, or would expect to make, to your youth work as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic?

It is our intention to create a staff community that is built on trust, is spirit-led, open, and loving. We ask that you consider and respond to the following queries:

4a. How can you help build a nurturing, safe, and trusting community?

4b. When you are in community, what support do you need to give yourself? How do you support others? What helps you ask others for the support you need?

4c. What gifts would you bring to the process of creating such a staff community?
