We offer our young people a place where they can experience the joy and connection of a humanistic and spiritual community. We want them to enjoy attending our classes, not just because they’re fun, but also because they challenge their ideas and beliefs about themselves and the world they live in. We strive to generate lasting and meaningful experiences for their unfolding lives. We share with them the sacredness of the arts — poetry, music, story, drama — in our classes and offer a dynamic, interactive approach to education that enriches their young souls and minds. Our Elders share their experience and wisdom as role models for our Children and Youth. Our Children and Youth share their joy and energy as inspirations to our Elders and reminders of the many meanings and purposes of Life. We wish to honor this relationship by creating a sense of Family in our Congregation. We strive to foster social, emotional, intellectual, physical, and spiritual growth by providing a wide range of activities and opportunities for coming together in Joy, in Love, and in Peace. Thank you for checking in with us. We look forward to meeting you. Should you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please feel free to contact our office .

Special Events

 

Miami Dade Coastal Clean Up, Saturday, September 25 from 9 am-12 pm.  There is also an after-party at the Miami Seaquarium (free admission, just have to pay for parking). 
 
Worldwide, thousands of volunteers from over 100 countries will spend their morning collecting millions of pounds of litter and debris on inland roadsides, coastal areas, inland lakes and rivers. Volunteers will assist in this effort to clean and protect the environment by eliminating debris that injures wildlife, contaminates our beaches and waterways, and threatens boater safety in Miami-Dade County. Local volunteers are needed to join this effort.
 
More information can be found here:  http://www.miamidadecoastalcleanup.org/why-volunteer/event-info/
 
There are many different locations to choose from.  Our plan is to choose one that is more central to the UU, such as Matheson Hammock or Deering Estates. We hope to get a group of 20 or more volunteers together. We're excited to get out there and do something, especially something our kids can put their teachings into action with!  Please contact the office of the DRE ASAP if you are planning to participate with us.
