Volunteer to help our Religious Education Program
On a regular basis, congregants pose the question, “How can I help the RE program?” Here are some ways to volunteer!
There is a task and a time commitment to meet anyone’s schedule. We need helpers and facilitators both well in advance and on the day(s) of every event. Please review the list below and contact interim DLRE Leah Purcell at dlre@uuschenectady.org to sign up or ask questions.
Our fabulous Religious Education program needs you. Deepen your relationships with others or tap on your laptop in solitude on behalf of the Program! Many of these events need your support to continue!

Volunteer Opportunities
All these roles will help ensure the smooth running of our Religious Education Program for the 2023-2024 year.
Substitute Teacher/Adult Fill-In: We maintain a list of background checked substitutes that our teachers can call on in the event that they are unavailable on a given Sunday. Volunteers on this list also may occasionally be asked to pitch in when we need an extra set of hands on a Sunday morning.
Help with Special Events: Throughout the year, we have special group RE activities that deepen our collective bonds, provide opportunities to socialize, and mark significant spiritual milestones. Participate at the level that works for you; join the Fun for UUSS Team, volunteer to organize just one specific event, or help with food prep, set up, or clean up for various events.
Supplies & Spaces Organizer: Pitch in to help sort, organize, and keep inventory of RE supplies; organize bulletin board displays around Waters House and the RE Hallway; help organize the library.
