The Unitarian Universalist Partner Church Council (UUPCC) is a UUA affiliate dedicated to “fostering and supporting relations between North American UU congregations and their overseas partners.” The UUPCC offers both customized and regularly scheduled educational and inspirational trips for UU youth to learn about their Unitarian history and roots in Transylvania, visit significant religious and historic sites, experience rural village life, and have an opportunity to meet with Unitarians from other countries. Past participants have described the experience as “life-changing.” For more information about the UUPCC, trip descriptions, and RE materials, visit our website at www.uua.org/uupcc .
