First U's Youth

Calling All Youth! Spiritually curious? Justice seeking? Hungry for a world where different points of view are welcomed and embraced? The Youth Group at First Unitarian is for you! We are a group of teens who honor people as unique individuals on their personal spiritual journeys. To learn about the ways in which we explore our religious, social and moral ideas.

We have fun activities such as our annual Youth Retreat, sleepovers and district conferences. We also feel called to fight injustices in the world, and do our part by participating with such organizations as Broad Street Ministry, the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee and the UUA's Standing on the Side of Love campaign!

iMinistry: It's all about technology, from iPhones to Facebook. Youth are invited to join the online community of First Unitarian by going to the youth section under groups. This is a parent free zone, moderated by our minister, Rev. Nate and Erick DuPree, Director of Religious Education. Stay tuned, soon we will offer weekly chats and facilitate online youth group meetings.

One Voice: One Voice is a dramatic arts initiative that replaces the traditional classroom experiences on Sunday mornings. Through writing and creating plays about real life issues, the youth of First Unitarian engage in asking the tough questions of life from a Unitarian Universalist perspective. The youth are charged to deliver two powerful Lessons for all Ages from their work.

Devotional Sundays: Youth as Worship Associates work with Erick DuPree, director of religious education to model for younger children what Unitarian Univeralism values and identity look like. They co-lead Devotion Sunday.
