      Missions Statement

    • We are the Ohio Meadville District Young Religious Unitarian Universalists. We have assembled these ideas to provide guidelines to be used while serving the youth of this district.

      YAC exists for the purpose of encouraging youth empowerment and nurturing the self-esteem of youth. We exist to foster spiritual growth within the Unitarian Universalist faith. We exist to help youth gain a deeper understanding of the principles and purposes of Unitarian Universalism and also to help teach said youth how to apply said principles to their daily lives. We are youth organizing youth!
