The Friends General Conference is an association of 14 Quaker regional yearly meetings in the United States, including the New England Yearly Meeting. Some of the monthly meetings in these fourteen yearly meetings are completely unprogrammed; some are unprogrammed in part. "Unprogrammed" means that meetings do not have a pastor to program the weekly meeting for worship.

The mission of WAIM is to uplift and unite the Windham area community by providing caring service and resources to meet our neighbors’ needs with dignity and respect. Without the support of its member faith communities, the Windham Area Interfaith Ministry could not provide all of its current services.
