Unitarian Universalist United Nations Youth Office Check out this site and get information about how UU youth can get involved with international issues. This site is developed by the youth intern at the UU UN Office. Trick or Treat for UNICEF Organized a Halloween party for children in your church. Take them out (with adults!) to collect money door to door and then come back for food and games. UNICEF has some interactive computer games and other materials to help you teach the children about UNICEF. There may be a UNICEF coordinator in your community who coordinates locations children go door to door. Crop Walk This is an easy project to carry out to help fight hunger. Organize the youth in your church to participate in a local Crop Walk to raise money for local hunger-fighting agencies and international relief.Check out the World Church Service website. Tools, Blankets and Kits The World Church Service website has directions for making kits that can be sent to people in need. Examples are health kits, school kits, baby kits, heart to heart kits, and emergency clean up kits. Your youth group can organize families in your church to create these kits. Habitat for Humanity Habitat programs only allow youth ages 16-18 to work at a building site. You can find ways to educate yourself about housing issues and find related activites youth of all ages can do, like volunteering to clean a completed home, helping to decorate a child’s room, building a play house that can be moved to a local Habitat’s home site. What Kids Can Do This website is about an organization committed to make public the voices and views of adolescents. You will find stories of youth making a difference in their communities. << | Contents | >> |
