Youth have the right to expect confidentiality of their personal stories except in cases where expanding confidentiality is needed to protect youth. This norm is expressed in most event covenants and is something UUA staff and event leaders must hold up.

In particular, if a youth participant discloses information about their identity, including gender identity or sexual orientation, to UUA staff that the youth has not made public; the UUA staff member(s) will not share the disclosure with other people without the permission of the youth.
