Programs & Projects
A list of programs and projects that UUCE participants help with.
Upcoming Monthly Offering Plate Share on Sunday, September 20 will go to the UU Women’s Federation.
We hope you take some time to learn about how you can support this incredible organization.
The UUWF builds covenantal relationships amongst UU women that equip us all to be better co-conspirators and allies in the movement for collective liberation.
This vision centers relationships and community-building as our primary work. We do this by offering programs that connect us with one another, teach us new perspectives and skills, and propel us to take meaningful action. We seek to support, illuminate, and build on the work and wisdom already active in congregations and communities across the country. We hope you’ll join us so that we can build a more just world, together.
Additional information and resources can be found at Home – UU Women’s Federation.
