USY is USCJ’s youth movement for Conservative/ Masorti Jewish teens across North America. For more than 70 years, USY has taught young Jews the values and skills they need to become exceptional leaders in their religious and secular communities.
USY is truly a second home – a safe, fun space where teens can be themselves and discover their potential. In USY, teens:
Enjoy a much needed break from the social and academic pressures of high school
Socialize with other teens from across North America and form forever friendships
Develop and express their personal and spiritual identities as they become lifelong learners
Gain confidence and leadership skills
Experience the joy of an authentic and dynamic Judaism
Repair the world through volunteering, advocacy and giving to communities locally and globally
Explore the world and discover diverse cultures through immersive travel
