This
year’s thought
provoking curriculum, Choosing the Life I Want to Lead,
was
developed by two of our YRUU Advisors, Jon Kitner and Diane Lade. In a world of unlimited and often conflicting
choices, young people need to ground themselves in a set of values and
beliefs
that will serve them no matter what challenges they may face. Issues
of knowing self, character, belief and responsibility will be
investigated
and defined by each youth with the goal of empowering each to
choose
freely and be responsible for their choices.

YRUU
(YOUNG RELIGIOUS UNITARIAN UNIVERSALISTS)
YRUU, the youth
organization of the UUA serves youth in high
school. Guided by national goals and purposes each local group
determines its
own vision.
YRUU participants are
free to discuss anything – religion,
politics, sexuality, school, music, poetry, social issues, or whatever!
The
emphasis is placed on the creation of an accepting, supportive
community, which
respects the feelings, and needs of individuals. Within YRUU, young
people make
friends and develop values that last a lifetime.
The
group meets as needed for planning
social
projects and activities. Our YRUU president for the year Emily
Gonzalez, our
Youth Advisors, Lou DeSantis, Karen Gonzalez, Diane Lade and Jon Kitner
welcome
all youth in our congregation. For additional information, please
contact the YRUU
advisors at YRUU@riverofgrass.org,
or by calling the congregation’s office, 954-474-2007.
