Resources & Tools

Four white buildings by still water in fall with 'Resources & Tools' superimposed in white.

At every New England Regional learning event, we offer tools and resources to bring home and share in your congregation. We have created resources from years of focused study and development on aspects of congregational life, and harvested wisdom, data and practices from our UUA colleagues, and lay and professional leaders from within and beyond UU faith communities. Here we share some of those materials for learning, sharing, and starting important conversations in your congregation. It is through generous gifts from congregations that our work is made possible. Contact us at newengland@uua.org, (617) 948-6415 if you need help locating a resource.
