About the Scholarship:        UUCC General Assembly Scholarship Fund

The Unitarian Universalist Association General Assembly (GA) is a tremendous opportunity to engage in deep learning about the UU faith community, delve into personal reflection and exploration, and connect with members of other congregations nationally. UUCC believes supporting members and friends to attend GA would both benefit the growth and development of those individuals supported to participate and would also benefit our congregation and community at large through the cultivation of potential new leaders of all ages.  

About General Assembly

General Assembly (GA) is the annual meeting of our Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA). Participants worship, witness, learn, connect, and make policy for the Association through democratic process. Anyone may attend; congregations must certify annually to have voting delegates.
