2025 Registration NUUS
Registration is Open!
If you experience any technical glitches in the registration process, please email solis-help@suusi.org.
This year, Volunteer Jobs are being added to the Registration process. Pick your preferred jobs now when you register. Only high-priority volunteer jobs are available at first, and more will become available throughout the process, so keep checking back if you don't find your favored roles now.
Did you know? Background checks cost SUUSI around $12 each. While everyone working or volunteering with minors at SUUSI must have a background check completed, it is good for multiple roles. So, if you are on Youth Staff, you can also volunteer as a Teen Dorm Door Monitor at no additional cost to SUUSI. All SUUSI participants are encouraged to sign up for at least one volunteer job. Want to help defray the costs of background checks? You can make a donation to the General Fund for the amount of the background check. Don’t delay, sign up today!
NEW IN 2025
- A SUUSI-wide free "Sundae Social" will replace some activities that traditionally occur Sunday night. Please sign up for this free event if you plan to go, so staff can know how many people to plan for (we don't want to run out of ice cream).
- Afternoon workshops, youth and middler programming this year will be 1:30-3:30 pm (instead of 2-4 pm) and Community Time will be 3:30-5:30 pm (instead of 4-6 pm).
- Single-occupancy of a dorm room will cost an extra $75, but otherwise, the pricing for SUUSI will remain the same as in 2024. Prices for 2025 are now up to date on the website.
This year's Serendipity/CACHE themes:
- Monday - Candy Land
- Tuesday - Halloween
- Wednesday - Under the Sea
- Thursday - Color Splash!
- Friday - Royal Coronation Ball
Accessibili-Buddies: Helpers and Patrons
Would you like to get to know someone by having an opportunity to be helpful? Are you someone who could use some help carrying a tray in the dining hall, have a friendly face to help with getting moved into or around your room, or perhaps just a calm presence to help you navigate unfamiliar programming spaces?
Join the Accessibili-Buddies Program at SUUSI! In registration in SOLIS you may:
- Request to be matched up with a helper for specific needs or tasks
- Volunteer to be matched up to help someone with a specific need or task
The only requirements are access to a smart phone or other device for contacting your buddy after being matched, and a heart that is open to this fun opportunity! Questions or concerns? Contact DEIA@suusi.org.
Accessibili-Buddies: SpN Squad
Do you know what it is like to feel left out or left behind? Do you know someone who can do whatever they set their mind to do but may just need some modifications? Do you like working with kids or teens?
Join the Accessibili-Buddy SpN Squad and help us put the best spin on activities for all our youth, middler, and teen members with special needs! We are looking for people to keep their eyes and ears open for potentially frustrating situations (too hot, too noisy, something out of reach, something too difficult) that could be extra challenging or awkward for some youth, middlers, or teens and may require some accommodations to help those kiddos succeed and have fun. Volunteers will be assigned to an age group during morning or afternoon programming. A standard background check will be required and training will be provided. Experience with special needs youth through teens is a plus. Please mark SpN Squad under Volunteer Jobs in registration in SOLIS to be a part of this rewarding and fun opportunity! For more information please contact DEIA@suusi.org.
