CMwD YAN Mission Statement
The Central Midwest District Young Adult Network is a group of young adults ages 18-35 working to build community and to foster growth of the Unitarian Universalist Young Adult movement in the Central Midwest District. We seek to cultivate and integrate the presence and experience of young adults into UU congregations. We affirm and promote the principles of Unitarian Universalism and are an intentionally welcoming, anti-oppressive and growing community. Stay Connected in the CMwD!

Do you see the need for greater dialogue within our communities?
Do you see an abuse of power in our country?
Do you look for answers and seem only to find more questions?
Then join us for a weekend of social action and interfaith discussion on May 21-23 at Chicago’s Third Unitarian Church! By volunteering at the Greater Chicago Food Depository, examining power structures that impact our communities and engaging in artistic mediation, we we’ll empower each other to become the change we wish to see in the world.
Make sure to bring comfy overnight gear, the snacks you can’t live without—and some retro duds for Saturday night’s 80s prom!
This event is open to individuals between the ages of 18-35.
Registration fees are on a rolling scale from $35-80. REGISTER NOW AT http://connectuu.com/ Super broke? Apply for a scholarship by May 14 at: http://www.cmwd-uuyan.org/
You are invited to spend the weekend meeting with young adults from around the Midwest doing social justice, attending workshops, enjoying contemporary worship and good food with old & new friends. Participants may sleep at the church or make other arrangements for overnight lodging.
In the spirit of strengthening our young adult community--and having some serious UU fun--join us at Camp Shaw in Kankakee, Illinois for four days of camping and reconnecting as we celebrate the return of this amazing event!
