Winter Convention 2027

Date: January 15 – 18, 2027
Location: Atlanta, Georgia

Event Overview

January 15-18, 2027, in Atlanta, GA

You asked. We listened. And we’re making it happen!

This MLK Weekend, USY is bringing you a full three-night convention experience in Atlanta! Get ready for a weekend filled with Jewish connection, new friendships, meaningful experiences, and the chance to make an impact in the Atlanta community.

We’ll kick things off by coming together for Shabbat, creating space to unplug, connect, celebrate, and build our USY community. From there, we’ll spend the weekend exploring Atlanta, connecting with local communities, and putting our Jewish values into action through service projects and hands-on opportunities to give back.

Inspired by the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., this weekend is all about turning our values into action – learning, serving, leading, and making a difference together.

Three nights. One incredible city. A whole lot of USY.

Come for the convention. Stay for the friendships, the experiences, and the impact.

We heard you. We listened. Now it’s time to make this MLK Weekend unforgettable.

I love this weekend because I got to see all my friends and even connect with some new people who I’ve never met before and it was just, even though it was in the snow, it was also kind of fun to like be in the cold in that kind of way. Like this, we got to play in the snow a little bit, which was fun. And yeah, just like hanging out with my friends. It was a lot of fun.
