Youth and Young Adults Program

The Youth and Young Adult Program of The Coalition provides support to youth and young adults around issues of affectional (sexual) orientation and gender identity in a faith-based context. As such, The Coalition also offers workshops to youth in various settings - the UCC's National Youth Event, regional youth events, conferences, camps, etc., and interacts with campuses related to the United Church of Christ and campus ministries on other campuses. We also provide resources for those who work with youth and young adults.
