Dear Deanna,

This summer, we’re excited to offer three opportunities for high school youth to get involved in justice work grounded in Unitarian Universalist values and practices. 

Please help us spread the word to UU youth by forwarding this e-mail to teens and religious educators! The application deadline for all three programs is April 15.

The Civil Rights Pilgrimage
What: A Living Legacy pilgrimage from Atlanta to Selma
When: July 6–13 (one week)
Bring history alive as you journey through the South, encountering the stories and sites of our nation’s struggle for racial justice. Learn about the role of Unitarian Universalism in the civil rights movement, explore current struggles against voter suppression, and reflect on your role in building the beloved community of Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream.  

Boston Youth Justice Training
What: Social justice education in a diverse learning environment with the City School and real-world internships
When: June 30–July 21 (three weeks)
Dive deep and cross boundaries. Join with teens from diverse backgrounds for training in the foundations of social justice work — developing an understanding of systems of race, class, gender, and heterosexism — and build the skills to take action. Do it immersed in an internship that fits your passion for justice. 

New Orleans Youth Justice Training
What: Social justice education and hands-on action with the Center for Ethical Living and Social Justice Renewal
When: August 3–10 (one week)
Get trained in the foundations of social justice work and build the skills to take action. Learn about justice and do justice — all with community partners actively engaged in building a thriving New Orleans. 

All three of our 2013 programs for high-school youth are designed both for those who are newly inspired to take action against the injustices of our world and for seasoned social justice youth leaders. 

Please forward this e-mail to youth groups, youth advisors, and any teens who would be interested.Applications will be accepted now through April 15.

In faith,

Rev. Kathleen McTigue
Director
Unitarian Universalist College of Social Justice
