Folkbuilder Spotlight, Heather Young





For those of you that don’t know Heather Young, she is a shining beacon for our Folk. She is who one thinks of when someone says Folkbuilder or Frithweaver for our Church. Heather is directly involved with the management of Thorshof which includes the beautification project, National Event planning and execution for Ostara, she works seamlessly across the AFA as a whole bringing our Folk community, local community work such as a food pantry, coat drives, and toy drives. As if her days weren’t filled already, Heather is also studying to become a Gythia for the Church.


“Folkbuilder Young is an outstanding example of a Frithweaver. She spends countless hours reaching out to our folk to help them with their needs, large and small. She is an outstanding Folkbuilder, amazing woman, and one of my dearest friends. Thank you, Heather for all you do!”

“Heather is one of the most caring and industrious people I know, both traits that certainly make her an awesome Folkbuilder.
