The Green Sanctuary Workshop: A Guide for Leading an Environmental Workshop for Youth

The Green Sanctuary Workshop is a guide for leading an environmental workshop for Unitarian Universalist youth groups. We chose global warming as the subject matter to introduce young people to social action. During the 2006-2007 congregational year, Promise the Children developed and facilitated the Green Web Workshop (GWW). We have now changed the name to the Green Sanctuary Workshop. One of our main goals for the Green Sanctuary Workshop is to give youth the skills to advocate for change. In order to be change-makers, youth need to be able to analyze a problem, come up with solutions as a team, and advocate for these solutions. The Green Sanctuary Workshop teaches these skills, which youth can use in many arenas including congregational life, community organizing, and political advocacy. Please feel free to use the Green_Sanctuary_Workbook.pdf  in your church. There are also opportunities for us to facilitate this program for/with you.
