Structure

The YRUU structure is divided into 3 sections, local orginization, district/regional orginization and continental orginaztion. The age range at every church changes, but the accepted continental age range for youth is 14-20.

Local orgnization in YRUU and in UUism takes shape in youth groups, with different orginizational styles and age groups. Some congregations have youth-led youth groups, some churches have youth advisors leading youth group, and some churches have no youth group at all.

District/regional organizing usually takes place on a committee of people elected at district/regional conference. These committees (commonly called District Youth Steering Committees, Youth Adult Committees, District Youth Councils) are in charge of planning district/regional conferences, making rules or by-laws and changes to those rules or by-laws, ensuring that communication is strong across the district/region and other things.

Continental originization usually is in the form of continental conferences, such as white allies conferences, DRUUMM YaYA (Diverse Revolutionary Unitarian Universalist Multicultural Ministries Youth and Young Adults) conferences, YRUU social justice conferences, and many others.
