USY Summer Programs

Since 1960, United Synagogue Youth has taken hundreds of teens across North America aboard USY on Wheels. On the cross-continent tour, Jewish teens explore the United States and Canada, discovering new sights and making lasting friendships through their travels. After a summer traveling with USY, 40-50 teens who start out as strangers leave as family.
An intense identity-building experience, USY on Wheels allows teens to travel and live with their peers, providing abundant opportunities for developing independence and personal growth.

For over 60 years USY has taken hundreds of teens to Israel and beyond, connecting them to the Jewish homeland. By experiencing Israel’s beauty and power alongside their peers, taking part in a variety of fun adventurous outdoor activities, and engaging in interesting educational discussions, teens will gain a new appreciation, understanding, and love for the Jewish homeland.

We also offer combination trips, where teens can visit part of Europe and explore other significant sights of Jewish history before traveling to Israel. Destinations in Europe include Italy, Poland, Prague, and Germany.
