For Children
Welcome to the UUFR Youth Religious Education (YRE) community! Ours is a warm, supportive and caring program, where children can feel comfortable, find acceptance and fellowship, and have fun.

The Fellowship is an affirming and challenging environment which supports its members in their personal odysseys. Our YRE program is staffed mostly by volunteers, working closely with paid professionals, including This email address is being protected from spambots.
