Summer Seminary for Unitarian Universalist Youth

Summer Seminary is a program for Unitarian Universalist youth exploring the possibility of becoming a religious professional. Focusing on ordained ministry and religious education, the program offers youth the opportunity to explore their call, experience facets of life as a religious professional, and connect with other youth considering ministry and religious education as career paths.

Summer Seminary is open to those who were in grades 10-12 (or the equivalent for home-schooled youth) for the 2012-2013 school year, including those who will bridge into young adulthood in the spring/summer of 2013.
