So we've got a new, streamlined structure for the YAC, (drawing 3 representatives from each cluster plus a chaplain and chair from anywhere to form a district team) and a new model to involve neighboring congregations in con planning. The success of this new team and new con planning model depends on having confident, qualified and visionary people to fill the roles. When I look around me at cons I see an amazing amount of potential in both youth and adults to keep the community aligned with it's mission: "to connect people to the spirit of Unitarian Universalism through radical hospitality, youth empowerment, consciousness raising, and social change" and to guide us towards our goals: 1) to buid multigenerational relationships 2) to create spirtual homes for youth at cons and in our congregations 3) to create immersion experiences that make life long UUs. The district is committed to providing ways for future leaders to learn and practice the skills needed for them to fulfill their potential.The following are events leaders can look forward to:
Chaplaincy Training - May 4-5 in Denver
Counselor Training for QUUest - July Dates TBD in CO Springs
Spirit Commitee How To's - March Dates TBD in Salt Lake City
Cluster Kick-Offs (Multigenerational community building and leadership development) - Fall of 2012
