Frequently asked questions:
- What is a YAF?
Woodbrooke has started using this term as the term Young Friends is often used to describe under 18 year olds. By YAF we mean people aged 18-30 although some of our programmes and courses have slightly different age ranges.
2. Why does Woodbrooke need separate courses and a programme for YAFs?
Although we feel that almost all of our courses are appropriate for most people we also think that sometimes YAFs may prefer to come on courses with their peers. This gives YAFs the chance to consider issues which are of particular concern or interest to their age group. Woodbrooke does run courses for other specific age groups.
3. What is the Young Adult Leadership Programme?
This is a new programme beginning in August 2012. It is a year long programme with two residential periods at Woodbrooke, another weekend held at another venue and ongoing work online through the year. The programme will run annually. Further details can be found here.
4. What if I can’t afford to come to Woodbrooke?
All YAFs aged 18-30 are entitled to use our Young Friends special offer which entitles 2 or more people to book onto a course with a 50% discount; further details can be found here.
