Programs for Youth (ages 13-20)

The youth group at the Unitarian Church of Calgary meets during service times in the youth room, a room that has been decorated by the youth, for the youth. It’s a place where open discussion happens in a safe environment almost every Sunday. We talk about our faith. We talk about other faiths. We do fun activities. We talk service. We talk acceptance and openness. We talk video games. Most of all, we talk about the things we want to talk about that we don’t always feel able to talk about in other places, and we do it with respect and a shared sense of learning about each other and our world.

An enthusiastic team of youth advisors leads youth group sessions almost every Sunday. See the calendar below for the next session. See you there!

Current Curriculum

Although we often stray off topic and talk about what is really on our minds, we do set up a curriculum for each session. This year, the theme is “What it means to be Unitarian Universalist”. To explore this, we’ve been taking a look at multifaith initiatives and discussing how to create openness and acceptance toward others in our lives. Activities, stories, and discussions are based on understanding our principles, including:

• The inherent worth and dignity of every person;
• Justice, equity, and compassion in human relations;
• A free and responsible search for truth and meaning
