Youth Group News

This from Cathy Phillips, coordinator of service for our Youth Group:

"After school on Wednesday, seven members of the youth group participated in a community service project at the Unitarian Universalist Urban Ministry headquarters in Roxbury. UUUM operates an after-school program for 50 middle and high school students from neighboring schools offering homework tutoring, dinner and games. While First Parish adults cooked a taco dinner, youth group members conducted interviews with the UUUM kids for a "photo collage" and led an icebreaker game. Everyone enjoyed dinner together followed by board games afterward. The project was deemed a great success by all and we're planning to a return visit in January.

P.S.: UUUM is a beehive of activity and welcomes UU volunteers of all ages. It's not hard to get there and there's parking onsite. If you’d like to help out, contact Rev. Kate Wilkinson at kwilkinson@uuum.org."

A very special thank you to Cathy Phillips for organizing and conducting this important work. Thanks also go to Corinna Silva and Laurie Brown who cooked along with Cathy while our Youth Group members spent time with the middle and high school students.
