Welcome to the
Unitarian Universalist
Urban Ministry
For nearly 200 years, the Urban Ministry has been working side-by-side with residents of Boston’s most underprivileged communities to create opportunities and instill hope for a brighter future. We concentrate our efforts primarily in out-of-school-time programming for
at-risk youth, and shelter for those fleeing
domestic violence. We also operate programs focused on providing support for men in transition, and culturally appropriate food to disadvantaged members of Boston’s Asian-American community.
Our ministry is rooted in direct experience and service with those in Boston who are struggling for better lives. We seek to build bridges of understanding and mutuality so that people in various economic circumstances can work together to effect change. Our goal is to create a human community that is peaceful and just.
Mission Statement: The Unitarian Universalist Urban Ministry unites communities and transforms individuals through education, service, and advocacy. We engage communities and congregations in social action and change with programs that empower youth and adults to realize their full potential.
