Heeding the Call: Qualities of a Justicemaker
By Nicole Bowmer and Jodi Tharan
Youth are encouraged to view themselves as agents of change in the world as they develop qualities crucial to justice work. They reflect on their own lives while making connections to the lives lived by others, building self-awareness while growing as leaders. Includes a Justicemakers Guide to help junior high-age youth track their activities outside the workshop and a long-term Faith in Action project to lead youth, step-by-step, in becoming allies to marginalized communities. View Heeding the Call on the Tapestry of Faith website.
Field test congregations will be asked to submit feedback electronically, using an internet survey site. Instructions will be provided. Please contact Alicia LeBlanc at the UUA, fieldtest @ uua.org to apply to field test Heeding the Call this winter!
This work is made possible by the generosity of individual donors and congregations. Please consider making a donation today.
