Young Adults (18-25)

The SUUSI Young Adult (YA) program offers a strong, caring, loving community to participants ages 18-25. We come together to live in a dorm and participate in activities made for – and by – young adults. It’s a small community within SUUSI’s welcoming arms where you will meet new, interesting, and caring people every year.

The YA program is developed by both staff members and participants alike. During the year, YAs have the chance to suggest and plan activities for the week of SUUSI. We try to keep the schedule new and interesting with old traditions and new programs every year!

Though we make our home in the YA dorm, the YA program is intentionally a part of the larger SUUSI community. We participate in workshops, Cabaret, Bridging ceremonies – for both new YAs and soon-to-be Medians or adults – and hit the dance floors at CACHE and Serendipity. You don’t have to live in the YA dorm to participate in the programs; join in to form those community bonds that bring YAs back to SUUSI year after year after year.

Wondering what you should pack for the week? Must-haves are cameras, swimsuits, instruments, and clothes you don’t mind getting messy! Also, bring your games, toys, your favorite clothes for dressing up (don’t forget to check the CACHE and Serendipity themes!), an open mind, good ideas, and great feelings.

One of the ways to get to know the YAs and be a part of the community before and after SUUSI is through the SUUSI YAs Facebook Group. If you have any additional questions/concerns/ideas about the YA program, feel free to email the YA Director at ya@suusi.org.

We can’t wait to see you there!
