Youth Resource Packets
January - June Subscriptions Now Available!
Packets Are Designed for Theme-Based & Non Theme-Based Churches Alike!
We are thrilled to announce that we now offer a monthly high school youth group resource packet!
Our goal is to partner with youth leaders and advisers to lessen their planning time so they can focus on the work of relationship. To this end, we fill our monthly packets with creative, high quality worship, games, meditations, reflections, stories, art engagement, discussion starters, and more.
These packets are designed for congregations using our Soul Matters theme-based program as well as those congregations who aren't. While the packets are structured around our Soul Matters themes, these themes are general ones that speak to the universal journey of youth, like integrity, wisdom, thresholds and play. If you are a theme-based church, using these packets for your program will ensure that your youth are connected to the wider theme conversation going on in the rest of your congregation.
What You Get & How Much it Costs
This first year subscription includes monthly packets for the remaining 6 months of this church year: starting with a January packet on the theme of "integrity" and ending with a June packet on "play." Each packet contains 4 weeks of session material.
As a kick off special we're offering everyone the January packet for FREE! Just click on the "January FREE Packet" button below. This will give you a clear sense of what we're offering so you can better decide about purchasing the entire half-year subscription.
That half-year subscription costs $15/packet for a total of $75. To subscribe, just click on the "SUBSCRIBE" button below.
A Bit More Detail About Our Approach
We've titled this subscription series "On the Road Together" in honor of the way youth groups offer youth partners for our journey. Friends, community, shared values, support in the midst of life’s twists and turns: These are the building blocks that make UU youth ministries meaningful and transformative. Our “on the road” frame also highlights the way in which each monthly theme is a path we all need to learn to navigate. So, for instance, January's packet is all about what it means to navigate the path of integrity.
The material itself is not a curriculum. It's more like a chest of building blocks. In other words, our goal isn't to create your youth group experience for you, but instead to give you the tools and resources you need to build your own experience. Like a box of Legos! This is our way of honoring the fact that every youth group has its own unique culture.
Our organizational structure flows from our commitment to whole person learning. So you will find sections dedicated specifically to the head, heart, hands, body, spirit and community in every packet. Here's an overview of the sections for every single week:
I. Getting Started (community)
II. Spiritual Practice (spirit)
III. Discussion Starters (head)
IV. Express Yourself (hands)
V. Fun & Games (body)
