Abstract:: The papers of Judy and Michael Van Hoy, members of Green Street Monthly Meeting, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, who have been deeply involved in social justice concerns particularly through the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting Workcamps programs.

In addition to their employment with Philadelphia Yearly Meeting, both Van Hoys are teachers and peace and social activists.
