The three main areas we will be examining are Kitchen, Administrative Leadership, and Activity Programming.

Unfortunately, YRUUP's annual Chaplain Training (scheduled for the weekend of January 18th) has been postponed due to low registration. Chaplain Training is an incredibly important part of our community and culture, and we are only cancelling this event out of necessity. Please be assured that we will reschedule, and Chaplain Training is likely to take place during either late March or early April of this year. We will announce the date as soon as possible to assure that everyone will have enough time to fit it in to their schedules.

To those who were registered, we apologize. We know that many of you travel far and work hard to make it to our events. We hope to see you at our upcoming Elections Con (February 15-18 at Unitarian Universalists of San Mateo), and at Chaplain Training this Spring.

Hello Con-Goers! It’s your last chance to Register for WUUKY 2018!  (July 2-7)

Register here before June 15!

What is WUUKY?

WUUKY stands for Western Unitarian Universalist Karmic Youth, and it refers to a wonderful, fulfilling and fun week-long con-like experience for youth ages 14-20 in the Mendocino Woodlands!

WUUKY 2018 will be held from Monday July 2nd through Sunday July 8th. The time for youth to register is now until June 5th . If a youth wishes to register after that date, we cannot guarantee a spot for them at WUUKY. If youths register by May 17th, $30 will be taken off the registration fee. Registration Deadline is June 16th. If you do not register by June 23rd, you spot is not guarenteed. Because WUUKY is week long and secluded out in the woods, it is extremely important that youth read the safety agreements and especially the packing list.

Unfortunately, early bird registration closed on May 17th. After May 17th and until Registration closes on June 15th, the registration fee for WUUKY will be to $270. The Late Registration fee is $310. Make sure you register early for the discount!

Payment for WUUKY is done beforehand and through mail transactions. You must mail your fee to Kian Van Der Meer, 1432 Walnut Street Alameda, CA 94501

Checks should be made out to NCUUCC.

Scholarships are available. Youths are encouraged to ask if they need one. They can email the current registrar at [email protected] with their requests. If a youth wishes to register after (Reg Deadline), they can email the WUUKY deans ([email protected]) and get on the waiting list (prices go up for late registration!).

If any of you, your churches or your members are willing and able, donations to help our scholarship fund and aid more youth in attending are always greatly appreciated.

We are also always on the lookout for adult advisers to attend so that we can accommodate all of the youth who register. If any adults from your congregations are interested in advising or would like to learn more, please have them email (Adult Co Name) at [email protected]

For any questions or concerns about YRUU Cons, WUUKY, or YRUU in general, please don't hesitate to email me at [email protected].
