Local Service Project
Each year, the General Assembly Planning Committee works with the Local Volunteer Committee to select and support a local service project. In this way, General Assembly and the thousands of Unitarian Universalists it brings to our host city can have a positive impact on the local community.
The 2009 service project raised $30,000 for the Utah Pride Center. The Utah Pride Center provides support for LGBT youth, adults, and families through a variety of programs. With the money raised from Unitarian Universalists at General Assembly, the Utah Pride Center will expand their services for LGBT youth.
Hispanic Unity was selected as the 2008 service project; $23,000 was raised. The purpose of Hispanic Unity of Florida is to serve immigrants and their families from varying ethnicities, by empowering them to be successful in the United States.
In 2007, General Assembly raised $42,000 for Village Gardens, a sustainable urban agriculture program in Portland, OR.
