Families and youth are at the heart of our community.

Families are the heart of congregational life. We strive to support parents and assist children and youth in their personal search for truth and meaning. We value our children and youth. Our programs give them the opportunity to question and learn, worship, engage in service projects to benefit our community, and participate in activities that promote connection with peers and adults.

​

We understand that religious education begins with the family, and strive to support parents and assist children and youth in their personal search for truth and meaning. We honor each individual’s need for and right to quest throughout life for truth while emphasizing the importance of relationship, inter-dependence, and connection to our human community and the earth.​

​

At the Unitarian Universalist of San Mateo, we have a vibrant and growing youth program that includes students of all ages, from 1 to 18. Our lesson plans are rooted in equity, social justice, and social action.

 

Arts and crafts, story time, games, and free play are offered on a weekly basis, along with engaging our students in meaningful discussions that are rooted in deep listening that allow us to understand what our kiddos are feeling and experiencing.

 

In addition to offering lesson plans for all ages from our “Soul Matters” curriculum, we have had several field trips to neighboring synagogues, temples, churches, and indigenous gatherings to understand the commonalities and shared values in our community, and the wider world.
