As you may have noticed, the Young Adult Festival (YAF) program sessions are fairly extensive.  It is also clear that YAF is not "the only show in town".  One of the principal purposes in holding the Young Adult Festival in conjunction with General Convention is to provide young adults a venue in which to explore the larger church and its legislative process.  As such, we have striven to allow YAF participants access to GC, including the important Legislative Committees (which happen 7:30a to 9:00am everyday), which is open to the public.  

In short no one is required to participate in every YAF programming session.  Although we do encourage everyone to participate in the YAF as much as possible, we completely acknowledge that some participants may want to spend more focused time at certain GC sessions.  As a young adult, your time is yours and you do not need to be chaperoned.  The YAF is all about growing into and finding our place in the church as young adults, which means that you may find certain activities at GC more edifying and it is up to you to discern where you belong at any moment.
