OUUC is a welcoming and inclusive congregation to youth, and youth are included and welcomed in worship and in most community events. Additionally, we have programs that are just for youth and programs that are intentionally for mixed ages with care toward making them appropriate for youth.

Upcoming scheduled programs just for youth include:
Worthy Now: Harm Reduction for UU Youth
Sundays 1:30-3:30
9/28, 10/12, 10/26, 11/9, 11/23, and 12/7
Youth will explore the concept of harm reduction as it relates to a variety of possible harms (substance use, mental health needs, violence prevention, and more) and increase their skills around harm reduction and decision making.
Hidden Histories
Sundays 1:30-3:30
Winter 2026
As the history that is most promoted in the American system hides truths of diversity, race, and more, we will explore the often hidden history that still shapes the world we live in today.
Coming of Age
Sundays 1:30-3:30
Spring 2026
Coming of Age invites youth to reflect on what they value and believe now, and to create and share a credo statement in a worship service. It is a beloved rite of passage for UU youth.
