High School Youth Group (FUUY)

Follen Unitarian Universalist Youth (FUUY) is for high school students in Grades 9-12. FUUY meets most Sunday evenings from 6:30-8:30 during the church year at Follen. The meetings offer opportunities for deeper connection with one another and time for relieving stress and having fun. FUUY meetings are often youth-led and activities are planned by the Youth Advisory Council made up of teens, Follen members serving as advisors, and our Children & Youth Program Coordinator, Ashley Mulcaire. (fuuy@follen.org).

Activities

• Annual Youth Worship Service
• Coffeehouse for fund raising for youth service learning trip and other events
• Holiday Yule Ball

Service Learning Trip

We hope to re-instate a meaningful Social Justice oriented trip for FUUY members during the April vacation week. A trip of this sort typically involves fund raising activities and pre-departure education to enhance the learning experience. NOTE: If you have insights into possible service learning trip experiences, please contact Follen’s Children & Youth Program Coordinator, Ashley Mulcaire (ashley.mulcaire@follen.org)

Follen events and activities are open to all regardless of ability to pay; all participating youth must be registered in Follen’s religious education program on an annual basis. Financial aid is available
