For more information, please contact Daniel Payne, Director of Faith Formation, at dff@uuharvard.org

If you and your youth are interested in attending, please read below for important information about preparation and registration.

All adult youth advisors attending the UU Youth for Social Justice 2017 Conference must agree to abide by the Participant Covenant for UUA Youth Events below. Please read through and sign the covenant, and return it to Daniel Payne at Harvard Unitarian Universalist Church by January 20, 2017, along with all required advisor and youth registration documents.

Adult youth advisors attending the conference must watch the two videos below before attending the conference:

• Youth Ministry Training Series Webinar #1: Introductions to Competencies for Ministry to/with Youth, and
• Youth Advising Competencies: Equipping Lay Leaders

It is a good idea to watch these videos in a small group, or with your Director of Religious Education (if possible). Please confirm that you have watched the videos on the Youth Advisor Registration Form.

In addition, I ask each attending youth advisor/DRE to take at least one task listed on the Advisor Registration Form. It is important for everyone to be involved in the organization and implementation of this conference.

Finally, please give a brief introduction and explanation of the workshop/session your youth plan to present at the conference. Each participating youth group is expected to present at least one workshop/session on social justice work that (1) they are currently doing, or (2) that they are interested in doing. Each workshop/session will need to be between 30-45 minutes in length. Groups may present more than one workshop/session if they choose. There is a space to add this information on the Advisor Registration Form.

Please ensure your Advisor Registration and all youth registration forms are submitted by January 20, 2017.

CORI

Lastly, Harvard UU has a CORI policy. All adult advisors working with children and youth must submit a CORI check. This is not a complicated process, and something Harvard will take care of for free.

All you need to do is submit the attached CORI form with your Advisor Registration forms, and we’ll run the CORI before the UU Youth Social Justice 2017 Conference. All results are kept strictly confidential, even if there is a result that might prevent an advisor from attending.
