QUUF Youth Group

Our Middle School Youth – Pathfinders – meet Sunday mornings online. In addition, there are special events several times during the year. Fall typically begins with the Puget Sound Middle School Youth Con gathering on Vashon Island at Camp Sealth (or online!). Throughout the year, we have social justice projects and other unique offerings. Special Programs rotate through the years: Neighboring Faiths, Coming of Age, and 8th-and-9th grade OWL sexuality education program.

YRUU Advisors- Xep Campbell, Cynthia Becker, Gary Forbes, and Beau Ohlgren (Director of Family Ministry)

Our High School Youth participate in the life of QUUF in many ways. Youth Group (also known as YRUU) meets each week to worship, play games, enjoy conversation, participate in social justice, and explore special topics. Some additional ways we encourage participation are: Sunday morning (choir, special music, ushering, greeting, assisting in RE), Social Justice Projects, and Family Holiday Events. Meetings are being held online as well as in person and for more information contact Beau Ohlgren, Director of Family Ministry.

Regional Youth Conferences

Our YRUU youth venture to Camp Cispus in Randle WA for biannual regional conferences for UU youth in October and April of each year. Delving into the topics on nature, love, communication, and other youth-selected focus areas, they build youth UU community and deepen their relationships to one another and to Unitarian Universalism. These conferences are entirely youth-organized and youth-run (with adult sponsors to help things run smoothly, of course) and are a powerful experience that our youth greatly look forward to each year.
