Continental UU Young Adult Meeting

All UU Young Adults (18-35) in the U.S. and Canada are invited to a special meeting in Fort Lauderdale, FL, on Tuesday, June 24, and Wednesday, June 25. This Continental Unitarian Universalist Young Adult Network (C*UUYAN) visioning and business meeting will take place just prior to General Assembly so that as many young adults as possible can attend. Together we will engage in large and small group reflections to discern our purposes, goals, and priorities. For more information, check the event listing on ConnectUU.

Apply for a Grant

If your congregation is fired up about Young Adult and Campus Ministry, apply for a grant from the JPD YACM Sunday fund. Grant applications are a two-step process. The first step is an easy, one-page "Intent to Apply" form. Once the Grants Sub-Committee receives that form, a representative works with the congregation to complete a slightly longer full application, including budget details and support letters. Visit the Grants Page to download an application and get started right away.
