About

About Us:

At its core the Young Adult Revival Network is a project to rebuild the continental UU young adult community. YARN is being incubated by the First Unitarian Universalist Society of San Francisco.

​

Our Mission:

To foster and support inclusive, celebratory, Unitarian Universalist spaces that connect young adults with one another; to recognize intersectional identities and places of privilege and oppression; to create & share resources to build connections, grow community, and actively engage in anti-racist & anti-oppressive efforts around the world while living the seven principles and striving to realize the eighth.*

Our Vision: 

• We believe in funding young adult ministry at local, regional and continental levels.

• We believe in holding spaces for groups centered around marginalized identities.

• We believe in creating worships & faith experiences with challenging ideas and concepts that nurture spiritual growth. 

• We believe in connecting young adult communities around the world across social platforms.

• We believe in recognizing the opportunities in our lives to actively engage and participate in social justice efforts that align with our principles and values. 

• We believe in providing space for resources and support to be shared for young adult lay leaders in their communities. 

• We believe in recognizing digital spaces as sacred spaces because they are virtual walls of a church community.

• We believe that this work is a living process, which we can always revisit and transform.
