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.

september opportunities

Kia Ora (that's Maori for hello),

As some of you might know I have been away in New Zealand for the month of August and after having wonderful adventures traveling, I am now delightedly getting back to work. And getting back to updating this sadly out of date blog! So this will be a pretty short entry today but keep checking back as I have lots to share and will be posting more over the next few weeks.

So without further delay:

- the 3rd Annual Young Adult Weekend at Unicamp is coming up!  and it's not too late to register!
Friday September 17 - Sunday September 19th.
For more info contact me or check out the facebook event page.

- Staff positions for CanUUdle XI in Toronto are still open!  

The deadline for applications for Co-Dean and the Logistics position has been extended until Sunday September Sept. 19th (by midnight)!!!
So if you wanted to apply and thought you missed the deadline here is your second chance.


***I will be sending out the application form for these positions along with all of the rest of the CanUUdle Staff positions on the cuc-youth listserv very soon, so watch out for that if you are interested (or subscribe already if you aren't on the list by clicking the link) OR if you can't wait to apply email us directly and we'll send out an application form just for you!

Remember the deadlines are: Sunday September 19th Co-Deans and Logistics and 
Sunday Oct. 3rd (by midnight) for all the rest of the staff positions.


In other news, way back in July I had the privilege of being a facilitator at both CUUL school EAST and WEST and I will offer a reflection of that experience and a little bit of info about why youth and YAs should get excited about CUUL school.  I also wrote an article for the Canadian Unitarian's fall edition which is online now and in the mail in hard copies and I will post the longer version of that article here soon.

Lastly I want to offer a correction.  The YA ACM planning team now has a terrific trio of talented worship coordinators who will take the reins for the planning of the YA-led worship at the ACM in Toronto.
They are Christine Mishra (nee Michell), Cora Bailey and Sean Neil-Barron - thanks for offering all your experience and enthusiasm for worship to the YA commUUnity!

peace,
