Unitarian Universalist Urban Ministry

The Unitarian Universalist Urban Ministry (UUUM) is a non-profit, non-sectarian organization with a mission to work across race and place to dismantle racism and white supremacy culture and to advance racial, economic, and social justice. We envision a Greater Boston where all people live with freedom and dignity, and have equitable access to resources and opportunity to shape the present and the future. Over its 190-year history, the UUUM has created many channels to conduct its work in addressing social injustice, and continues to evolve in order to do so.

Today, UUUM programs focus primarily on serving Roxbury high school youth and Boston-area, survivors of domestic violence, as well as on supporting community engagement across differences, especially those defined by race, class, neighborhood, and faith. Located in the heart of Roxbury, we work with members of communities that are predominantly home to people of color, including the neighborhoods of Roxbury, Dorchester, Hyde Park, and Mattapan. Moreover, our programs are tailored to meet participants where they are, and we have expertise in working with LGBTQIA+ people, immigrants, English language learners, and low-income children and adults.
