Presenting - The Chrysalis Training Program
Heard of Leadership Development Conferences? Or Advisor Trainings? Well, be sure to read this because the fun has only just begun!Over the past few years the Youth Office at the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) has been focused on program development and training for youth and adults across the continent. The need for an educated base of trained individuals who are involved in partnership, leadership and advocacy for Unitarian Universalist (UU) youth has become apparent, as has the need for recognition of the accomplishments of these individuals. The Chrysalis Training Program can help to fulfill these needs, and brings together youth and adults from all experience and leadership levels to engage in meaningful, inspirational youth ministry training.
The UUA Youth Office offers a variety of 15-hour trainings for youth and adults, focusing on a wide range of issues important to youth ministry and programming. Over the last few years, the program has nearly doubled, and the Youth Office now offers twenty-five to thirty weekend-long trainings each year to UU districts, regions, and congregations across the continent.
