Do you want to make friends with young Unitarian and Unitarian-Universalist women around the globe?  Women 18 to 35 in our fellowships throughout Europe are invited to join a new virtual program sponsored by the International Women’s Convocation (www.intlwomensconvo.org).

“Young UU Women Leaders Engaged for Social Change in Their Communities and the Global Arena” will be an interactive, inter-generational program to inspire and provide tools for social action and building an international UU community for young people. There will be around 20 participants, and the program will run from February 2022 to March 2023, culminating in the group’s participation in the United Nations’ annual meeting of the Commission on the Status of Women.

This is truly an international opportunity to learn about and from your peers in UU communities on nearly every continent. For more detailed information, click here Young Adult Network Program _ Expectations

DEADLINE for appllications is February 10, 2022.

To apply, fill out the online form here. If you have questions, please contact IWC’s executive director Zsofia Sztranyiczki at admin@ICUUW.com

IWC is also looking for two women to serve as team leaders for the project to coordinate virtual meetups, workshops, and events with speakers.  One should be an older, experienced team leader and the other from the young women’s group. Both will receive a small monthly stipend.  Please click here for more information. Team Leaders_ Job Position
