Along with Religious Education classes for children and youth we offer group programs for youth age 12 – 19. For more information about any of the below opportunities please contact the Youth Religious Education Council.
This youth group is for Middle School students (grades 6 – 8). Focus is on
having fun, making friends and doing social service projects together.
Recent activities include ice skating, collecting school supplies for hurricane
victims, collecting and sorting food for the San Antonio Food bank, and
planning an Animal Dedication service for the entire church. During the
school year meetings are held on the fourth Sunday of the month at 9:30
in the Thoreau building. An activity outside of church is usually scheduled
for the third weekend of the month. Club M2U does not meet during the summer.

This youth organization of the Unitarian Universalist Association, serves youth from 14-19 years old. Guided by national goals and purposes, each local group determines its own vision. The five components of balanced youth programming are Worship, Community Building, Social Action, Learning and Leadership. Youth in this program have many opportunities to grow into leadership at group, congregational, district and continental levels.
YRUU participants are free to discuss anything -- religion, politics, sexuality, school, music, poetry, social issues, or whatever is important to them. The emphasis is placed on the creation of an accepting, supportive community which respects the feelings and needs of individuals. Within YRUU, young people make friends and develop values that last a lifetime

The Youth Adult Committee (YAC) serves as a forum and decision-making group for youth-related issues, communication with the congregation, membership integration into the church community, selection of youth group advisors, and involvement of youth in church functions.
Adults representing both youth groups, the Religious Education Council and parents sit on the committee with youth, elected by their peers, representing both youth groups and religious education classes.
