Creating Community Together
Finding Purpose in Climate Action
Join us to learn from UU young adults as they share their professional knowledge and passion for shaping a just and equitable climate future. This service will immerse us in the climate changes we are experiencing in our lifetimes; help us reimagine a future rich in thriving, sustainable communities; and guide us toward actions we all can take to realize a world in which we all flourish."
