I DO AND GIVE MY BEST BY LIVING THE TRUTH I KNOW. I MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
OUR APPROACH:
– THE LIVING
CURRICULUM
KEEPING YOUR KIDDOS SAFE For the safety and liability of our program, we perform criminal background checks on all volunteers who work with our youth. It is our policy to have 2 volunteers per classroom space (this includes travel and participation in regional events). Our Safety Team monitors the Unity Heights Building during the 11:00 a.m. youth classes. They are trained to question anyone who enters the building while classes are in session. Registration forms must be on file for all youth ministry participants and will be updated at the start of each school year. Please note we can only provide supervision of your child while they are checked into class. Otherwise, families must supervise, monitor, and be responsible for their child at all times while on campus. We ask that you please do so to ensure your child’s safety.
We believe, as our founder, Myrtle Fillmore did, that our mission as educators is not to entertain kids, but, instead, to draw them out. Moving past the idea that teachers have all the answers, we instead realize that all of us are uniquely unfolding on our spiritual paths, having equal access to the Spirit within.
Using storytelling and experiential creative expression, the Living Curriculum approach helps draw out the Truth inside of us we already know. This process helps to explore spiritual principles and to become aware of how those principles operate in our lives.
Tammy Conner has been studying Unity Principles since 1995, and has been part of UCSA since 2007. She spent 7 joyful years teaching Youth Minister at UCSA from 2007-2014.
Tammy has a degree in Education, and a love and passion for sharing spirituality with kids. She also completed the Introduction Leaders Program with Landmark Worldwide, where she mastered the art of listening to others and making things happen that weren't going to happen anyway. She loves coaching, mentoring, and empowering others to be their best selves.
Tammy is the mother of two and helped raise a third for 10 years.
Tammy is the possibility of Love, Joy, and Adventure!
