YRUU is the denomination’s title for self-directed, youth-empowering groups made up of senior high students. Across the continent, YRUU groups meet for social events, social activism, leadership development, religious growth, and having fun. They create worship services, meet in local and continental conferences, raise money and create social change. Here at UUCCSM, our program is growing rapidly, and is developing its focus on the six areas of balanced youth programs, as articulated by the UU Association’s Youth Office: Worship, Community Building, Social Action, Learning Leadership, and Youth-Adult Relations. With the guidance of adult advisors, this group empowers teens to create their own vision and mission for their program. Largely discussion-based, YRUU also takes part in social justice projects, organizes social gatherings, and will plan and lead a Sunday worship service for the congregation. This is an opportunity for youth to continue where the Coming of Age program left off, as they and their advisors explore what it means to be young and UU, how our UU principles inform how we live our lives, and what power young UU’s have to change the world.

Youth Activities
For Coming of Age and YRUU youth
Monthly; meeting dates and locations vary.
Each month, the YAC plans a social event for our COA and YRUU youth, to provide fun events and bonding between the youth of our church. Including 8th graders in the outings facilitates their transition into the senior high youth group at the end of the year. Past events have included a beach cookout, bowling, overnights, amusement park trips, rock climbing, laser tag, and more!
