When staffing a religious education program, congregations often struggle with recruiting leadership, determining what skills and standards to expect, and deciding how to support such leadership. Job descriptions, titles, and expectations vary widely, as does compensation. Here, in one convenient resource, are suggestions to help you determine what to look for in a religious educator, how to find one, and some Unitarian Universalist Association guidelines on salary and benefits.

Inside, you will find many useful charts and sample documents, such as:

• employment agreement

• chart for dividing RE responsibilities
• questions to help focus your RE priorities, needs, and vision
