Middle School Youth
Join our Middle School Youth program! Our Middle School youth are growing into their own, starting to take ownership of their UU learning and still enjoying fun and exploration. Through teacher guided learning, we help our 6th-8th grade youth to begin to deepen their UU faith and take leadership roles.

Signature Program: Crossing Paths
This program is offered about every 3 years.
Crossing Paths invites youth to explore the major world faith traditions and celebrates each faith’s unique aims and ends. Every world faith tradition was born in response to a distinct human struggle. We believe we honor religions best when we work to understand the particular challenge and aspiration to which each religion has devoted itself. So instead of using the metaphor of “One Mountain; Many Paths,” our program invites us to see the religious landscape as “Many Mountains, Many Paths” (religious pluralism).
