At UU Marin, our youth program fosters resilience and inspires young minds to explore their own journeys for purpose and meaning. With our sacred UU values of Justice, Equity, Transformation, Pluralism, Interdependence, and Generosity, centered in love, our young ones learn to respect themselves and others.

Our program aims to create opportunities for youth to form meaningful friendships and connections that transcend differences. We emphasize ethical development, a strong sense of community identity and and understanding of various faiths. We are committed to creating a program in the transformative power of art and music, using these creative outlets to deepen children’s understanding of our Unitarian Universalist faith.

Exploring Our New Values Flower

As part of our commitment to enhancing UU understanding and engagement within our community, the “UU Values Flower” was developed as a visual representation. This colorful graphic beautifully illustrates the 6 core values that were affirmed in the recent Article 2 revision of the Unitarian Universalist principles.

The graphic above serves as an educational tool and a source of inspiration, encouraging us to embody these values in our daily lives. We invite you to explore this graphic with your young ones.

Each petal of the flower represents one of these vital values, showcasing how they collectively enrich our faith and guide our actions.

Justice – We work to be diverse multicultural, beloved communities where all thrive.
