ETHICAL TEENS IN DEED

NYC Teens,



Please contact us at Ethics For Teen Leaders:
      -- to arrange your inclusion in upcoming meetings and activities.
      -- if you'd like help to organize a Social Justice DEED CLUB or workshop in your school.
      -- if you'd like to participate in monthly NYSEC DEED CLUB
      -- if you want to join our Coming of Age group
      -- if you want to join our field trips and outings
      -- to share your hopes with us!


In the larger Ethical Culture framework, teen gatherings are referred to as YES, which stands for Youth of Ethical Societies -- or you could think of it as "YES!!!! You can make a difference!"  You are welcome to join the the Teen YES In Deed Club at New York Society For Ethical Culture.
Also, if you are under 17, you may be interested in our Coming of Age program.


DIVE IN FOR SEPTEMBER's DEED OF THE MONTH:
People's Climate March
Sept. 14, 2:00-4pm -- an activist craft workshop:  discussion of purpose, preparation of large-puppet costumes and signs for march.  All ages and skill levels welcome.

Sept. 20, 6:30 -- Saturday evening at Ethical, a great chance to hear from leaders deeply knowledgable about climate issues threatening our planet. RSVP to EthicsForTeens@nysec.org to attend as a helper & learner -- in exchange, our program will pay your ticket price. We ALSO invite you to SLEEP OVER on our ROOF TOP!
