At the First Unitarian Society, Jan oversees the religious education program from babies through 12th grade. She sees that there is loving childcare, programs that provide social action, information, sprirtual development and fun for all of the children and youth here. There are classrooms for each grade level and the curriucula is developed to be activity based and interactive. The junior and senior high groups are large and active. It is wonderful to see children and youth grow and thrive in a community that values them and their religious search.
