COA is a rite of passage equivalent to the Christian Confirmation or the Jewish Bat or Bar Mitzvah. COA helps adolescents discern for themselves what it means to be a Unitarian Universalist, individually and as part of the larger faith community. COA is in addition to the regular youth programs at UUSS with its own schedule and separate registration.
