FCNL, QVS, FWCC, AFSC…there are so many Quaker nonprofits and their acronyms can leave your head swimming, so today we’re going to explore where they all came from. How have they served Quaker communities? We’ll explore the work of these groups — from serving chocolate soup to German children during World War I to a brand new organization that is supporting Quaker ministers.
And then we'll check in about how it's going at our own nonprofit. What have we learned in the past year? What's been challenging? We'll sit down with some of the people who have been instrumental in Thee Quaker's growth.
Friends-Montessori School is an independent elementary school in Asheville, North Carolina that serves children ages 6-12. Based on Montessori and Quaker practices and values, our holistic, self-directed education honors the child and their place in society by fostering self, community, cultural, environmental, and spiritual awareness. We invite prospective parents as well as Friends who want to invest in the future of Quaker education to contact Canaan Brackins at canaan@friends-montessori.org.
