Youth Events in PSD
Information and links to registration forms for CONs and other youth events in the District. This is not necessarily a complete list since we are not always provided with this information from congregations. We add it when and if we are given correct information from the sponsor of the event.

Facebook
Have you not located our Facebook page yet? It’s so easy! Go to facebook.com and create a profile if you have not yet. Search Groups for “PSD” and join! You can also join the larger (not specific to youth) Facebook organization for the entire Prairie Star District by searching for “Prairie Star District” under organizations. It can be confusing, but it is worth it to be networked and in the know.
Proposed Restructuring of Youth Programming PROVIDED by PSD
There is a lot of confusion around what PSD provides and what we don’t. Unlike many other districts in UUA, PSD congregations hold their own cons - short for conferences - for youth. PSD does not operate these events, nor are we even informed of them at times. PSD tries to plan events that involve educational opportunities as well as opportunities for youth to connect with others outside of their congregations. These are sometimes called “working cons”. The last few we have planned have been canceled due to low registration. Sherry wrote a proposal to the board of how to change things, and you can read it here.
