YAC 2010!   JUNE 12th – 19th

From Saturday June 12th to Saturday June 19th 2010

YAC is a conference on Star Island that welcomes people in the first decades of adult independence. In this stage of our lives, the old standards do not apply and many of us find ourselves on new, different or perhaps unexpected paths in life.  YAC is a time to come together and share the experience of being part of a very special community – trading stories, growing together as individuals and as a conference.  At YAC we are an intentional community – a self-propelling wheel if you will. As a conferee driven experience, we invite you to share your talents, ideas, hobbies, passions, and advice with each other throughout the week. For many of us YAC is a retreat from the trials of everyday life, and we revel in being away from it all while being a part of something greater.

In our time on Star Island we are celebrating, reflecting, and (re)connecting with friends and with ourselves.  We encourage everyone to take time to experience the community and the island on a personal level – whether it’s catching up on the simple things that slip away in your hectic mainland life like reading a book and straight chillin’ on the lawn, or eating 12 grilled cheeses at lunch just because you can, and cutting loose on the dance floor like it’s 1999 again.  Whether you come for four days, seven days or just overnight, you are part of a community that operates year round (because the memories don’t fade, and we give you everyone’s contact information.

This year we welcome back Kate Wilkinson as our Conference Minister of the Week.  Rev. Kate Wilkinson is Coordinator of Congregational Outreach and Volunteers for the Unitarian Universalist Urban Ministry.
