Youth Advisor

We are also happy to announce that FUSF member, Emily Steltzer, is joining our staff as Youth Advisor. Emily, who holds a Master’s Degree in history from the University of New Hampshire, currently teaches history at the high school level. Originally from the United Kingdom, Emily, who has international teaching experience, is curious, creative and fun, as well as rigorous in her intellectual pursuits, including her commitment to Unitarian Universalist values. This past summer Emily led a church service that incorporated her love of improvisation as a teaching and learning tool. As youth group advisor, Emily will coordinate activities for middle school and high school youth groups.
 
In addition to her classroom teaching, Emily has spent the past few summers working in the camp world, where she has led programs that emphasize teamwork, creativity, and joy. Emily’s colleagues describe her as someone who laughs easily and loves learning. She looks forward to combining her camp leadership background with her teaching experience to support young people in building friendships, exploring their values, and developing their voices. Please join us in welcoming Emily as our Youth Advisor.
