Casey Stainsby – Intergenerational Solidarity
Young Adults (ages 18-35) are the most underrepresented age demographic in Unitarian Universalist congregations. These days, we can also all be categorized as Millennials – a generation with a bad rep and who also face some serious challenges. Let’s change the narrative from one of desperation for young energy, to wondering how UU communities can best support young adults.
Casey is the Canadian Unitarian Council Youth and Young Adult Ministry Program and Events Coordinator. She grew up at the Unitarian Church of Vancouver, and has been active in multigenerational UU communities her whole life. Most recently, she was the CanUUdle Coordinator for three years. Casey also coordinated the Children’s Program for the CUC’s National Conference in 2014, and has served three Unitarian congregations’ religious exploration programs in various roles. Casey is a writer and editor for the CUC’s Truth, Healing and Reconciliation Reflection Guide initiative for several age levels of guides, is an Our Whole Lives sexuality education facilitator, and was a facilitator for Goldmine Youth Leadership School.
