Uniteens

Uniteens focuses on supporting pre-teens as they navigate middle school. The lessons are designed to be more introspective and practical, with deeper engagement in Unity’s spiritual teachings to help pre-teens develop self-awareness, personal responsibility, and emotional well-being. Uniteens explore leadership topics and service to others through engaging opportunities and activities.

In 2025, Uniteens are exploring the theme, How Does Your Garden Grow? Through this theme, they are looking at their own impact on the world around them while learning how to empathize with others through a hands-on, year-long service experience.

Family events and overnight options are offered throughout the year.

We will do our best to accommodate needs and allergies. Please provide at least a week's notice (or more for more involved accommodations) so we have time to make arrangements and communicate with our team.

Some things to know ahead of time:

We serve pre-packaged snacks in the youth rooms and Unity in Greensboro offers a potluck breakfast each week. We do not serve snacks containing peanuts in the youth rooms. Our donated snack selection typically includes nut, dairy, or gluten free options as well as vegan options. We can guide your student to select from the options that meet their needs if needed. For severe reactions, please notify us in advance.
Our wing of the building is over 50 years old, with other wings dating 100 years. We have two stair free doors in the back courtyard and an elevator available all the way down the hall from our rooms. A few shared wheelchairs are provided by our landlord and can be found in the downstairs stairwell to help with the distance. Unity in Greensboro does not own the building; therefore, these are the only building related mobility options we can offer at this time.
Parents/guardians of students who need extra support may attend youth programs with their children as their designated caregiver. We do not currently have the capacity to offer buddy or interpretation programs, although this is a goal we are working towards being able to offer in the future. If developmentally appropriate, students may be better suited to a younger age group.
Task-trained service dogs are always welcome.
If you would tell your kid's school about it, then please consider telling us. This includes learning disabilities, mental health, etc. You can even let us know your student's preferences and best practices to help them have a good time. Information is shared on a need-to-know basis and only with those directly serving your Uniteen.
Places of worship are exempt from ADA; however, we do our best to meet as many needs as we can within our capacity because we believe everyone deserves a safe, welcoming, and accessible space to explore spirituality.

The best way to let us know about your Uniteen's needs is to pre-register them and include their needs in the medical information section. If you have additional questions, please feel free to reach out to us.
