Greetings, I just subscribed to this list, and this is my first post.  I'm
Christine Gresser, and I'm on the steering committee of our church's
Twenties and Thirties group.  

Our group is reorganizing and revamping, and I'm benchmarking Young Adult
Group descriptions at other UU churches.  If you are in a leadership
position in your local YA group (or if you don't mind obtaining this info
from a leader), would you be willing to post your group's description,
mission statement, etc., to me (onlist or offlist)?  

Questions:
1. What is the purpose of your YA group? (what components make up your
group's purpose?  i.e. social, worship, social action, leadership
development, learning/religious ed, etc.) 
2. Is your YA group connected to a congregation, and if so, do many/most YA
group members participate actively in the church?

Thanks!
Christine Gresser

Actually, I'm in the process of oranizing a YA group in my city
(Bloomington Normal IL) and those sound like great questions!

Could you send me your answers as well?

Thanks so much!

Sure, I'll be glad to digest the responses I receive offlist and will post
them back to the group.  And, for anyone who is on this list and who is IN a
YA group but is not the LEADER of the group, would you mind forwarding my
questions to your leader(s)?  Thanks so much!

Thanks to Heather M. in Boston for your helpful reply - the first one (and
the only one so far...)!  Hope to hear back from lots of folks.  I will be
glad to share the wisdom I get from you all.

Cheers,
Christine

Hi, I'm Ellen, and I'm a co-leader for my young adult group.  We're a part
of a small church in a suburb of Cleveland, and we have a very small (<10
active members) but stable group.  Everyone in our group is very active in
the church, and we have our meetings right after church on Sundays (usually
over lunch).  We actually don't have an official description or mission
statement.  We do a lot of social activities, but we're also very active at
Pride and we'll be leading adult sex education workshops for our chuch
starting next month.

Christine, I'm glad you started this topic.  I'll be interested in reading
how other young adult groups work.

Hi Christine and everyone!
I'm Karen Barrett-Wilt and I'm the Young Adult and Campus Ministry
Program Coordinator at First Unitarian Society in Madison, WI.  I'm new
to the job, so I can't answer your questions with years of experience
behind me, but I can tell you what's going on here now.  

Our campus group (Madison Unitarian Universalist Young Adult and Campus
Ministry, or MUUYACM) meets every Thursday evening for a worship service
during the academic year, and every other week in the summer.  Sometimes
the services are led by our members, but more often we have someone come
and speak briefly and lead a discussion.  We are trying to have a social
hour after services once or twice a month, but that's not firmly
organized yet.  We also go to the SOA vigil/protest in Georgia every
year, and we have a fall and spring retreat.   We usually have around 15
people at services, mostly college students, but we have a few people in
their later 20s and 30s attend.  Most people in this group are not
involved in the FUS congregation.  (I don't know if this is relevant to
your re-forming group - I'm including it just in case.)

We are also starting a young adult (20s and 30s) group, so I, too, am
interested in what other people have to say about their young adult
groups!  We had an organizational meeting which about 25 people
attended, and we're trying to organize a social, low-key event every
month (potluck, movie, etc), as well as a coffee hour/brunch or
something on Sundays.  People are interested in a monthly hike, there
may be a knitting group forming, and we'll see from there!  We're hoping
to have a good mix of people, so we're having family-friendly events
and/or offering childcare at our events right now.   The purpose of this
group is to form a community for the young adults in our congregation.
We are a very large congregation, and you won't necessarily see the same
people at services every Sunday (and to complicate matters, we also have
a Saturday service), so we're trying to provide an opportunity for young
adults here to connect with one another.  Additional goals might be
added later as the group develops.  The young adults in this group are
involved with the congregation as a whole to varying degrees.

We have a minister who spends a portion of his time and is very involved
with these two groups, and he often leads the MUUYACM services.

Looking forward to seeing what other groups are doing!
-Karen
