Many hands make light work! Please help make this a successful con!

River Rising (formerly GoldMine) is coming to Schenectady this summer!!
River Rising Youth (entering grades 9-12 this summer) will spend a week creating community and learning to care for that community spiritually, pastorally and physically. They will have conversations about how Unitarian, Universalist and Unitarian Universalist values influence their own sense of purpose and work on articulating their own faith based values. Leadership will be approached as a continual process of self reflection, group processing and practice work. There will also be time for fun, just hanging out and playing together! August 18-24. If cost is a concern, note that scholarships can be available thru the UUA-CER office, plus UUSS youth can apply to the Aninger fund for financial support! There also be a session in Sate College, PA, July 28-August 3. For more information, CLICK HERE!
