UCM Youth Making an Impact

 

I want to give a shout out to our UU youth and how they work to engage in their communities and make the world a better place.  


Here's Oskar, sharing why he's excited to be a first-time voter.  Click here to play video.  He lit the chalice for our Oct. 25, 2020 worship service lifting up the sacred act of voting. 


And click here to watch Fiona as she advocates for the normalizing of people living with Crohn's disease.  If you watch, you'll see so many UU values coming so naturally... sharing pronouns in her introduction (3rd UU Principle: Acceptance of one another).   She assures that she will share HER truth, her experience, and will look up answers to questions she doesn't know the answer to, but that it shouldn't take the place of consulting medical experts.  That's the responsible part of the 4th UU principle: a free and responsible search for truth and meaning.  

Way to go, UCM youth, shining your light to make our world a better place!  Both videos shared with special permission of youth and parents.
