Our experiences in AYF programs introduced us to living a four-fold balanced life, seeking to be our own, best self, and inspired us to live lives of service as we seek to make a difference in our communities and the wider world.

As we have had the opportunity to talk with alumni around the country the last few years, we have heard loud and clear that you are committed to living the mission but would love some support in doing so. We have heard the request for adult programs at Miniwanca and Merrowvista to reconnect to the AYF mission, and for the opportunity to connect virtually throughout the year.

We are excited to announce the first annual Living the Mission Retreats at Miniwanca and Merrowvista. The adult only weekend retreats this fall will be a mix of mindful program activities and conversation, reflection, and focus group conversations about what type of year-round connections would be most helpful to our alumni as you seek to practice living the mission of AYF each day.

We look forward to welcoming you back and engaging in a weekend of mindfully Living the Mission of AYF.
