This blog hopes to be a site of shared communication for anyone interested or involved in Unitarian Universalist Youth, Young Adult and or Campus Ministries in Canada.

Come here to learn about Youth and Young Adult related events going on across the country and find out about the work I am doing to support this vital and important segment of our faith.

2011 YA ACM positions!


This is a quick announcement to say that the 2011 YA ACM positions have been filled! And here are the stellar people who have graciously volunteered to be part of the planning and creation of next year’s ACM:

Your Host Committee YA Coordinator is Robbie Brydon from Toronto 1st/soon to be Hamilton.

Your ACM Program Planning Committee YA Liaison is Amy McRobert from Ottawa 1st.

And last but not least your YA Led Worship Coordinator is Christine Michell from Calgary/Lethbridge/soon to be Guelph.
*The Worship Coordinator position was advertised as being for a duo but I didn’t receive any other emails expressing interest, so if that is a role you are interested in please get in touch with me and I’ll put you in touch with Chris.

Also on the topic of ACM planning, there is yet another yahoogroups listserv that we would like to ask you to direct more nitty gritty, back and forth, planning type conversations to. So if you have any ideas, suggestions, constructive criticisms or any other thoughts or comments about anything ACM related - please direct all those comments them to this ACM specific list.

To be able to send and receive emails on it - please send a blank email to cuc-acm-young-adults-subscribe@yahoogroups.com and you can get signed up that way.

In other news please, stay connected (by whatever way you choose - either on this blog, on the regular cuc-young-adult listserv, or the YA Facebook page) as there are developments brewing about putting together a "worship-in-a-box" package of worship service materials to help promote YAs in congregations and get congregations excited about sending their YAs to the ACM. If you are interested in helping with this project please send me an email.

As well I am looking for anyone who is interested in being part of a working group to look into the possibilities of creating a YA advisory body and what such a body might look and function like. If you are interested in structures or governance, or have ever served on a YAC or on CAYAC you have expertise we are looking for! Please email me if you are interested in this.

In faith,
Ariel
