Groundwork: Unitarian Universalist Youth and Young Adult Anti-Racism Training and Organizing Program
Build the GROUNDWORK for change! Be part of creating a radically inclusive, spiritually alive, and justice centered community!
GROUNDWORK is the Anti-Racism training and organizing program of Unitarian Universalist youth and young adults. GROUNDWORK trainers facilitate dialogue, education and organizing in congregations, schools and community groups, and are available to lead workshops, trainings and conferences.
GROUNDWORK trainers are youth (14-20 years old), young adults (18-35 years old) and adult allies. Our training teams have a balance of both White Anti-Racist Allies and People of Color, and strive to partner younger apprentice trainers with elder mentors. We use interactive, experiential learning and focus on community building and spiritual reflection. Our workshops are youth and young adult led and centered, and are available for participants of any age.
