MISSION

To grow an inclusive, diverse, and joyful young adult community that fosters faith, fellowship, and fun!

WHY 18 TO THIRTIES?

Young adulthood has a very defined start, but a nebulous ending. We use this loose age range, 18 to 30s, so that people can make their own decisions about identifying as a young adult.

ABOUT

The 20s and 30s Community is the young adult body at UUSF. Like many faith communities, UUSF skews older. To transform this fact, UUSF funds a Young Adult Manager to grow and develop this part of our community. We put on programs so people can connect with their peers and get their spiritual needs met. We also support young adults throughout the congregation; we show up everywhere, from the choir to the board! Check out our webpage, newsletter, and Facebook group for the latest details. Our activities are open to all who are 18–39, whether you are new to our community or a long-time member.

Connect

We know newcomers are often looking for community, and the way community is found is through participation and patience. The place to start is by getting plugged-in to our communications, so you can find out about upcoming programming.

Get the DYNAMITE young adult newsletter in your inbox. This provides the most comprehensive place for events and news. Complete our Connections Form and select the 20s & 30s community when it asks for your interests to receive the newsletter and get connect to our Young Adult programming manager.

20s & 30s: Spiritual Discussion Group

Join us for a time of spiritual reflection and discussion, while building connections and community with peers.

Discussions take place on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month on Zoom at 7 PM-8:30 PM.

All sessions will follow our monthly theme, with each session will explore different content, reflections, and questions.

Young Adult Lunch Outing

On the third Sunday of every month, we get lunch together after Sunday service. We meet at UUSF at 12:30pm and walk to a local cafe or restaurant to enjoy a meal together.

You are welcome to attend the church service first, or just come to lunch. This is a nice way to meet new folks or spend time with firm friends. We recommend bringing small bills or to be prepared to use a money transfer app of your choice.

Social Activities

Our other activities happen at different times throughout the month, so connect with one or all of our communication platforms for updates and information, check the programming calendar, or contact Emma Wakeling.

These range from cozy craft or board game nights, to attending free cultural events around SF such as outdoor cinemas, performances, and museums.
