Unity Youth Education Program 2025
Inspiration. Empowerment. Connection.
We aim to draw out the inner truth and guide youth to live fully, joyously, and peacefully as Divine Children of God.
Our program is based on a Curriculum created by Diane Venzera, Director of Resources, Services, and Events for Unity Worldwide Ministries
Ages 5-11
We currently teach children from Kindergarten through 5th grade. If you have children outside this age range, please email tereece@createwellsolutions.com, and we will do our best to accommodate your family.
Services
Join us on Sundays from 11 AM to Noon
In January we will explore the Power of Flowing in Faith and in February we will dive into Realizing True Strength.
Class Structure
- Opening Circle Introduction and Icebreaker
- Choosing Responsibility Cards Children take ownership of their time in class by contributing through roles such as Bell Ringer, Greeter, Reader, Teacher's Helper, Kindness Reporter, Clean Up Team, or Scribe.
- Sacred Circle- This includes a wide range of activities. This time might include a meditation walk outside while we contemplate what we would like to contribute to our family and friends this week. We might do a short yoga exercise to stretch our bodies and quiet our minds. We might create a song or a dance to celebrate the Christ light within.
- Introduction to the Lesson of the Day
- Learning Lab- Includes experiments, crafts, or activities to support the lesson.
- Closing Circle Discussion about the class events.
Clean up and meet the grown-ups upstairs for the Peace Song
