The Social Action Volunteers Circle provides varied avenues for congregation members to participate, as they are able, in social justice work, and meets the need for occasional volunteers to support on-going social justice commitments of our church.
Volunteer for Social Justice
As individuals, in groups and teams, and as a congregation, we are in the community and in the wider world volunteering our time to advance causes of social justice. Following are some regular opportunities available through the Social Action Committee. You can read more about these opportunities on the Social Justice page.
On-going initiatives include:
- Red Cross blood drives
- Campus Kitchens and Free Will Dinners
- UShare
- Church and Community Program
- Green Sanctuary projects
- Social action activities in our Religious Education program
Modeling this initiative on our church’s Caring Circle, we seek volunteers who are willing to be on an email/call list when the need for help arises. By placing your name on the list you are not committing to regularly scheduled projects, and you are certainly free to say no to a request. Being part of this circle of volunteers will also allow you to explore activities sponsored by the church but which may be unfamiliar to you.
If you are interested in being on the call-list for the Social Action Volunteers Circle, please complete the form on this page. If you have questions or would like further information email socialaction@uucantonny.org or contact Pat Alden directly.
If you would like to be more directly involved with a specific project. Please use the contact information for th projects found here .
