Job Title: Youth Group Coordinator for Follen Church, Lexington, MA
Job Descripton: Follen Unitarian Universalist Youth Group (FUUY!) is a close-knit group of high schoolers who enjoy weekly informal Sunday evening meetings and year-round traditions like a Maine weekend, Coffeehouse, Holiday Cookie Swap, and Glow-in-the-dark Mini Golf, to name a few. Attendance at FUUY meetings ranges from about 40 youth for big annual outings to about 20-some youth each Sunday. FUUY is currently led by adult FUUY advisors, a group of committed church volunteers. Follen Community Church is now looking for an enthusiastic, fun-loving, and occasionally goofy FUUY Coordinator to both organize FUUY activities and calendar as well as lead the group meetings with the volunteer advisors. The Youth Group Coordinator works under the supervision of the Director of Religious Education. The position is up to 10 hours per week.

Responsibilities include:

* Attending all and leading many Sunday evening FUUY meetings from 6:30 to 8:30 pm, and occasional events at other days and times
* Working with the Director of Religious Education and a team of three or four other advisors, and a Youth/Adult committee to create exciting, meaningful experiences for and with our teenagers.
* Continuing beloved FUUY traditions, like the Maine weekend and a FUUY-led Worship Service each spring.
* Finding opportunities and encouraging youth to become involved in community service projects throughout the year.
* Attending Youth Adult Committee (YAC) meetings and fund-raising activities.
