Grounded in San Gabriel’s mission and vision, the Youth DRE facilitates and delivers youth
religious education through a sixteen week spring curriculum for children and youth. The
selected candidate, in collaboration with the Pulpiteer (half-time lay minister) and SGUUF
Board, may select and employ curricula of their choice from UU and other sources.

The emphasis of SGUUF’s Youth Religious Education program centers on the teaching of
practices (physical, social-emotional, spiritual, etc.) that give our children the skills to
self-regulate, cooperate, collaborate, develop, and express empathy with others. It exposes
children to the wide array of sources that inform modern UU congregations, these include: UU &
other liberal Christian sources, science, both secular and spiritual humanism, earth-based
traditions, indigenous wisdom, and an inclusive post-colonial approach to all world religions,
spiritual traditions, and diverse cultures.

The Youth DRE will communicate with families and the congregation regularly, ensure
appropriate supervision of children and youth, and develop programming responsive to current
needs.
