USY empowers Jewish teens to build lives filled with purpose, connection, and possibility through transformative travel experiences. Every journey is an opportunity to lay the foundation for your future—exploring new places, embracing different cultures, and discovering breathtaking corners of the world while building the confidence to navigate whatever comes next.

On a USY Summer Experience, you’ll build independence, resilience, and a deeper understanding of who you are. You’ll form lifelong friendships with Jewish teens from across North America, build bridges across cultures, and gain perspectives that challenge and inspire you. Through meaningful volunteer work, you’ll help build stronger communities while discovering the power of making a difference. Along the way, you’ll strengthen your connection to Jewish life, creating memories, values, and experiences that become the building blocks of your identity and the future you are ready to create.
