We're thrilled to express our heartfelt gratitude for your enthusiastic participation in our recent Youth Corps Tie Dyeing event! 🌈 👕 It was a vibrant and inspiring day, and for those who couldn't make it, we missed you dearly. The tie-dyeing endeavor was not only a creative outlet but also a means to fundraise for four remarkable partner organizations: I Have a Future, No New Women's Prison, Homes for All MA, and Stories Inspiring Movements.
Are you a youth feeling the urge to translate this inspiration into action? The UU Mass Action Youth Corps has some exciting opportunities lined up:
1. Join Our Youth Leadership Team
