General Assembly (GA) is the annual meeting of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA). Its programming includes open business meetings in which delegates speak and vote (called Plenary), workshops that any registered attendee may attend, worship services scattered throughout the days and nights, a large exhibit hall with displays from congregations, departments of the UUA, and other Unitarian Universalist (UU) or UU-related organizations, and tons of other great events, meetings and fun programs! Thousands of UU children, youth and adults, gather at GA every year. It has a contingent of youth, but it is not a youth conference.
Youth Caucus refers to programming at General Assembly designed specifically for youth. Youth Caucus includes workshops, meetings to discuss GA business, networking and other social opportunities, and worship. Youth are also welcome and encouraged to take part in the wider GA programming, including plenary sessions, public witness and worship.
The purpose of Youth Caucus is to serve:
- Youth who want to grow as Unitarian Universalists through a variety of workshops and worship opportunities, and who want to network with the wider UU community.
- Youth, including youth delegates, who are interested in or committed to learning about and participating in plenary session and the business of GA.
All youth are welcome to participate in Youth Caucus. Youth aged 14-17 who want to register for General Assembly must register for Youth Caucus, though they are not required to attend any Youth Caucus programming other than the orientation.
The Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministries has scholarships available for youth who are planning to attend GA.
