Our Religious Education program nurtures the spiritual growth and social engagement of young people, helping them listen, stay open, and serve the Beloved Community.

Through hands-on learning and real-world skills, children and youth explore Unitarian Universalist values at home and in the wider world, while drawing from diverse sources of wisdom.

We support young people in building confidence, compassion, and a sense of purpose, empowering them to live their UU faith through advocacy, connection, and personal growth.
