I’m going to take down uuyouth.net this week. I will move the useful content to lryer.org. I will try to keep the pointers aliased so that bookmarks go to the same place. Basically because no one has been interested in making use of uuyouth.net, and I am now disconnected from UU youth programs. I will [...]

An interesting new study about the values and politics of Generation Y has important input for folks contemplating the design of a youth program.

Buck up guys, you are not alone. It is quite evident this weekend that the [...] I had to post once from Pickett and Elliot House here at the UUA in Boston. I’m at my first YRUU Steering Committee meeting, and have now officially survived it.
