“I believe that all of us have the spark to transform our surroundings simply by having confidence in our abilities. Cons have taught me that.”

Young Religious Unitarian Universalists of the Pacific is a longstanding, youth-run organization dedicated to providing fun, safe, and spiritual programs for youth in the Pacific Western Region. We serve youth and transitional young adults ages 14-20 with four weekend conferences and one week long summer camp every year. Our events help youth develop skills in leadership, community building, event coordination, and public speaking while accepting them into a loving community of their peers. Youth who have been to our events leave the community with the skills and peer support necessary to succeed and grow going forward in their lives.
COVID 19 Policies
In order to keep our community as safe as possible while still holding events, we require a negative COVID test before events and a secondary test taken the week after attending. Masks are required at most conferences due to church policy. Click here for more information about our pandemic safety procedures.
“The youth leadership part of cons is so important…because when youth are leaders, everyone is truly an equal at cons, and we are all working as a team to make the experience as great as it can be for everyone.”
