Coming of Age

Explore what it truly means to be a Unitarian Universalist through this transformative small-group experience! COA is a journey of self-discovery, spiritual exploration, and community connection, open to high school teens through mid-October.

Participants take part in activities like:

  • Church hopping across UU congregations

  • Ropes courses and retreats

  • Worship and rites of passage

  • Comprehensive sexuality education

  • Social justice projects

  • Deep dives into UU mission, values, and history

The program culminates in a pilgrimage to historic UU sites in Boston and a powerful Coming of Age ceremony—a meaningful celebration of your growth and journey.

*Youth may participate in both Youth Group and Coming of Age.

Youth Worship

Youth gather to lead and participate in music, ritual, and story. This worship includes interactive questions, mindfulness practice, and encouragement to build their UU faith wherever they are.

Youth Interest Groups & Hang Out

Youth can choose or self-organize for common interest groups across ages such as UU Choir, UU Animal and Environmental Advocates, board games, jam band, etc.
