Youth of Unity
The Youth of Unity (YOU) is a group of teens, ages 14-18, who come together to learn Unity principles, serve the community and share loving spiritual fellowship. Our local YOU chapter is part of the Southwest Region YOU and is officially chartered through the
Association of Unity Churches.
What activities are offered?
All YOU activities are designed to create a balance of individual study, spiritual lessons, service, and fellowship which involve, motivate, and stimulate young people to be an expression of what they are – Children of God.
Spiritual: Each Sunday a spiritual lesson is offered to assist the teens in understanding spiritual laws and their practical application to daily life. Time is also spent in prayer and meditation to develop the consciousness of Oneness. YOUers may also participate in weekend retreats which allow for more intensive exploration of their divine nature through group workshops and interaction. Regional Rallies are held in November and April, and sub-regional lock-ins are held in December, February, and September.
What activities are offered?
Service: YOU teens conduct projects designed to assist their church and community. A service project can be a donation of time, love, and energy to accomplish a good service for others. Each year service projects are developed which address the needs of our YOU chapter, The Center, and/or our community.
Social: YOU teens believe in celebrating life and appreciating the joy of togetherness. Teens take a leadership role in creating fun activities such as lock-ins, dances, swim parties, etc. These social experiences provide the teens an opportunity to practice spiritual principles in daily life interactions with their peers and they provide a loving place to build friendships, develop self-esteem and have a terrific and fun time learning and growing with each other.
