Teacher and Wiggle Room Aid Training

Be Part of Our Children’s RE Team!

Do you enjoy working with children, helping them learn, and being part of their spiritual journey? We are looking for Teachers and Wiggle Room Aides to support our Children’s Religious Education program this year.

Join us for our Teacher & Wiggle Room Aid Training on Sunday, September 7 from 12:45 – 2:00 PM. (Sanctuary)

At this training, we’ll:

• Learn the basics of facilitating children’s groups in a UU congregation.

• Review our class flow, covenant, and safety policies.

• Get oriented to the exciting curriculum and upcoming RE calendar.

You don’t need prior teaching experience — just a willingness to show up, listen, and help create a loving, safe space for our children. Long-time members and newcomers alike are encouraged to attend.

If you are a Classroom Helper or Wiggle Room Aid, you will not need to prepare a lesson. Just show up!

Come be part of a team that helps our children feel seen, heard, and supported as they grow in their UU faith.
