UU San Mateo

Like many Unitarian Universalist congregations, UUSM offers a Coming of Age curriculum for 8th through 10th graders.

The program has four parts:

• pairing youth with adult mentors;
• discussions and retreats that foster self-awareness and confidence-building;
• service to the church and community;
• and a culminating affirmation ceremony.

The program is a fun and meaningful way to support our children’s transition to youth — and to remind the whole community to embrace our youth as the wonderful emerging young adults they are.

Coming of Age is offered every other year, alternating with the Our Whole Lives curriculum.
