Family Matching Convocation in New York - May 19-21, 2017

Is your family thinking about matching?

The Family Matching Convocation (FMC) is an opportunity for you!

The FMC is a great opportunity for parents and their young adult children to understand the Matching Process, learn from families who have had successful matching experiences, network with other families, and consider possible matching candidates. This national Family Matching Convocation will be held at UTS in Barrytown, New York on May 19-20, 2017.

Who Is It For?

Come as a family! The FMC is designed to help parents and their young adult child learn about the matching process together and get the same page. Parents are invited to attend the FMC together with their young adult child or with their spouse. Parents are also welcome to come without a child. Young adult children older than 18 are also welcome to attend without a parent. Parents of younger children are encouraged to attend to familiarize and educate themselves about the matching process.

The Matching Supporter Training will be held on Sunday from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Those wanting to be trained must also attend the entire Family Matching Convocation from Friday to Saturday.
