Children & Youth Ministry
The Children & Youth Ministry (CYM) at UUSE offers a thriving program for all young people from infancy through senior high and more!
Classes are held on the Garden Level at UUSE, concurrently with the second (11am) service from September through June. In the summer months, we offer a lighter schedule which runs concurrent with the 10am service.
New or Visiting?
Be sure to let a greeter know if you’re visiting a service and would like to know more about our program. They will be happy to put you in touch with a member of our staff or committee! Or if you prefer, email us at: uusecym@uuse.org.
Thank you to the volunteers who have signed up to help in our classes and keep our program running smoothly!
There are still many dates available throughout the year. Please consider volunteering to be a Lead Volunteer for Workshop Adventures, working with grades 1-5. If you sign up as a Lead, rest assured that we will design an activity or craft suitable for the children that will be enjoyable and manageable for you and an assistant(s). Please use the links on the CYM UUSE website page to sign up. Click on this link Volunteer for classes and scroll to the bottom of the webpage for the links to individual classes under Volunteers needed. Or contact us at uusecym@uuse.org and we'll sign you up.

Volunteers Needed
The Children & Youth Ministry is run by professionals and volunteers working together. We ask that families who enroll their children in the program offer to help – there are LOTS of options designed to fit different comfort levels and availability. Adults without children in the program often help as well! Many hands make light work – and allow all volunteers a chance to become connected to the program, while still having the ability to attend services and feel spiritually nurtured!
