For youth ages 13-18 in the greater Brattleboro area- please share!

We are excited to share the news that the Brattleboro Area Youth Group is relaunching! Youth ages 13-18 are invited to attend the re-launch of an interfaith youth group on Sunday, September 10 from 5 to 7 pm at the Guilford Community Park Pavilion, supported by various local faith communities. Youth: Come check it out and bring a friend!

During the kick-off, individuals will get to know each other through games, share a pizza meal and explore which activities they'd be interested in pursuing one Sunday afternoon a month this coming year. Affiliation with a congregation is not expected.

Past groups have carried out community service projects, learned about different faith traditions and social justice issues, canoe and camped together, held overnight "Lock-Ins" locally, attended youth leadership conferences and explored New York City's diversity and rich traditions. The goal for this group is to build leadership skills and friendships among young people who care and want to make a difference in their communities.

In the past decade, youth have taken a service trip each year to places as diverse as New Orleans, Kenya, St. Croix, El Salvador and the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation in S. Dakota, with the group fundraising to support each venture and to ensure its affordability.

The Guilford Community Park Pavilion is located at 24 Church St. in Guilford, VT. If inclement weather, the gathering will move indoors. Directions: 1-91 to Vermont Exit 1 (Brattleboro), south on Route 5 to just past the Guilford Country Store, left on Bee Barn Road, left again on Church Drive.
