What the title says, Steering Committee and Youth Council were disbanded by the board. And by that I mean funding was cut.
Dear Unitarian Universalist Youth,
As the continental YRUU Steering Committee, it is with
great sorrow, that we inform you that on June 30, 2008, the UUA will
cease to fund the YRUU youth leadership at the continental level.
Therefore, there will no longer be having Youth Council, this summer
or years following, and the work of youth ministry within the UUA will
shift to a congregationally based focus.
This change has been in the works for several years. At
the Long-Range Planning Meeting in 2003, between YRUU and the UUA,
"Common Ground III" was proposed. Common Ground III stated that
further goal setting and re-imagining of youth ministry and YRUU was
needed. The name Common Ground comes from two meetings in the early
1980's that dissolved Liberal Religious Youth (LRY) and created Young
Religious Unitarian Universalists (YRUU). At Youth Council 2004
consensus on the resolution of Common Ground III was blocked, at which
point the UUA Board of Trustees convened the Consultation to and with
Youth on Youth Ministry culminated with the Summit on Youth Ministry
in July 2007. This summit resulted in the Youth Ministry Working Group
comprised of UUA staff, and volunteers, three of which are youth. The
working group has been tasked with implementing the objectives
outlined in the Summary Report on Ministry to and with Youth.
However, youth programming on the district and
congregational levels will continue. YRUU Steering Committee will now
be advocating for a strong continental youth leadership body that will
be empowered to direct the youth office with the goal of serving
congregations. We will also be advocating for the growth of
anti-racism/anti-oppression work within youth ministry. This will
include support for the Groundwork collective of trainers, DRUUMM
YaYA, and future identity-based youth and young adult ministries.
As representatives of the larger UU youth community, we
value feedback, and will be setting up a blog for that purpose.
Thoughts, memories, rants, and love notes are appreciated and
welcomed.
In Faith,
YRUU Steering Committee
