Apply for a LEAP Grant

USY LEAP (Local Engagement and Partnership) is a program meant to encourage groundbreaking programming and innovation in the local USY chapter. The ultimate goal is to support the chapter in the ability to reach out to more teens and engage them on the chapter level. We strongly encourage multi-chapter programs when able.

Past recipients have used their funds to reduce costs for an interchapter program, off-site programs (a visit to Ellis Island), and additional staff support to do outreach to potential members.

If your have  additional questions please visit our LEAP grant page or contact [email protected]

Membership

We are a membership based organization, where membership begins on the chapter level. Chapters are responsible for collecting:

  • Membership information
  • Fees for teens to attend chapter/local events (when applicable)

You are responsible for entering this information, along with dues payments, into the online International USY/ Gesher membership system in order for your chapter’s teens to participate in regional and international programming. Failure to do so may hinder your teens’ ability to:

  • Attend events
  • Receive scholarship from International USY
  • Hold international leadership positions
  • Vote in international elections
