Like the Orthodox Young Friends Committee, the Hicksite Young Friends Movement was a predecessor group to the Joint Young Friends Movement.

The Young Friends Movement (Hicksite) was first organized in 1916 and was recognized by PYM(H) two years later when the larger body appropriated funds and appointed an Advisory Board. Members were between the ages of 15 and 35 years, and paid one dollar annually. The Central Committee consisted of the Executive Committee, two representatives from each Quarterly or Half Yearly Meeting, and six to eight members at large. A General Conference was held on the 7th day preceding Yearly Meeting week, with the evening session devoted to the William Penn lecture. Pilgrimages were held in many communities to encourage a spirit of fellowship, and study groups were organized at the local level.

In 1930, 25 years before the two branches reunited, the Movement merged with its Orthodox counterpart and formed the Young Friends Movement (Joint). That group continued until 1975, at which point it merged with the Religious Education Committee of PYM.
