Youth Advisor Task Force: Proposals for Change What is in it for me? The health of children and youth programs within a congregation is important in evaluating the health of the congregation. Our youth programs can reflect the very best things about our faith: compassion, social justice, shared leadership, striving for intellectual and spiritual growth, welcome, and safe. Our youth deserve adults who are intentionally selected, well-trained, supported by peers within and outside of our congregation, and who model good self-care. This report suggests a path that we can take towards becoming more whole as a faith. How can I get a copy? Proposals for Change will not be reprinted this fall. Copies of the report were available at General Assembly 2000, and will be sent to all district presidents, district staff, and to continental ministerial and religious educator network leadership. We have made the report in its entirety available online through the Unitarian Universalist Association website address below. Please feel free to duplicate the report! What can I do to support the report? It is critical that all of us – parents, youth, youth advisors, board members, religious educators, ministers, and congregants – recognize our special role in the creation and support of healthy youth programming. It is particularly critical that YOU step up to the plate and advocate for this report given the limited availability of hard copies. Call other people you know and tell them about it. Ask your congregational board, your district religious education committee, and your youth leaders if they've read it and what they are going to do about the recommendations. This document contains information that you can use to strengthen your Religious Education program. Check it out! |
