This program is designed to honor our Unitarian Universalist youth’s transition to adulthood; much the same way rites of passage have been created to mark this change in cultures around the world.  It incorporates learning of adult skills and values; validating that the youth are “separating” from family during the transition; and recognizing that they will be re-integrated, or ”reborn” back into their family and community in their new status of emerging young adult.  Mentors will work with youth helping them define their spiritual beliefs and values. Mentors are the wise guides of the program. Mentors must be willing to talk with youth about their feelings and beliefs on many different issues. They should be able to share their adult life experiences honestly and listen to youth experiences non-judgmentally. Applications are being accepted now and must be filled by Oct. 1. Orientation training is set for Tuesday, Oct. 11 from 6:30-9pm. Contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for more information.
