Review the opportunities below and see which speak to your heart and passion. Contact the leaders, and let them know you’re interested. If you have other questions, email info@firstuu.org.

Ongoing Volunteer Opportunities
Religious Education Volunteers (Children & Youth)
All throughout the year, we offer groups for the younger members of our community, including groups that meet on Sunday mornings. If you are interested in being part of a team, read more about our programs and contact our Director of Religious Education to find out how you can be involved.
Justice Coordinating Council
Social Justice has long been an important part of Unitarian Universalism. Standing up for the oppressed and the environment, working to Get Out the Vote, and battling White Supremacy are but a few of the issues we tackle.
The Justice Coordinating Council works to assure that our efforts are directed and powerful. Contact them to become part of the solution.

The mission of the Care Team is “To create a more nurturing environment at First Church by providing practical assistance for members and friends of First UU, their families and their caregivers, who would like extra help when they have an acute or chronic health care need.” Contact Rev. Scott at scott@firstuu.org if you would like to help out.

The Climate Action Team works to create awareness of the damage currently being done to the environment, and works to reverse it so the earth may begin healing. They have many events throughout the year, including themed monthly Plant-Based Potlucks. They were instrumental in the recent greening of our campus.

The church livestreams its two services each Sunday, as well as other occasions. The AV team coordinates the live streaming, projections, and the sound for services and events.
More hands are always needed to help set up, run, and monitor the sound equipment, projector, and livestream cameras. All skill levels are welcome, it’s a great way to learn about AV!
