Director of Religious Education

Email: dre@fusf.org | Phone: (508) 528-5348

Sara Allegretti brings warmth, creativity, and a commitment to inclusion to her role as Director of Religious Education. She leads programs for children and youth from birth through age 18, crafting experiences that are thoughtful, engaging, and grounded in Unitarian Universalist values. With a Master’s in Education from Lesley University and a background in teaching both math and outdoor Tinkergarten classes, Sara blends her knowledge of teaching with her love of play based learning. Outside of work, you’ll likely find her on a tennis court, spending time with her family, or curled up with a book (ideally after a delicious meal). Sara believes that religious education is about learning about Unitarian Universalism, supporting children in exploring what being UU looks like for them, and building a community where every young person can feel seen and valued.
