Paul Levy, of The Leaveners, reflects on the inspiration of young Quakers

by Paul Levy 28th September 2012

I am a Quaker because I was inspired, moved and fundamentally changed due to spending time with a group of articulate, passionate Quakers. These Quakers just happened to be young people.  I became involved in Quaker youth work as a part of my Theatre and Psychology degree fifteen years ago and had to work with a group of young people to pass a university module. I volunteered with The Leaveners, on a project working with Quaker young people, and have been volunteering with Quaker young people ever since.
