                                " The health of our Quaker schools is directly related                                                   to the health of Friends Council.”

           Matt Micciche, Head of School, Friends School Baltimore 
 

More than ever before, today's world needs Friends education working for peace, social justice, community building, simplicity, and respect for others.

Founded in 1931, Friends Council on Education has been serving Quaker schools across the country for over 85 years.

Your planned gift to the Evergreen Circle of Friends  will perpetuate Friends Council's future services and programs for Friends schools across the country and around the world.
