About
Us
USY ( United
Synagogue Youth ) was founded in 1951, in Midwest
by a group of Jewish teens who were interested in starting a Jewish
conservative youth movement. USY is the official high-school aged youth
organization of the Conservative Movement and is sponsored by the United Synagogue .
This in turn means that USY is a Conservative
Youth group and our Chapters exist in United Synagogue affiliated
congregations. However USY is an open environment and welcomes teens of all
affiliations. Although the organization began with only a few chapters, it
has grown to an international organization with thousands of involved high
school aged members!
There are three main levels of USY. There are the chapter, regional and international levels. Each
chapter recruits their own new members and elects a chapter board that
keeps the chapter's activities running smoothly. Here, leaders are trained
and responsibilities are divided. All of the chapters in a few states
together make up one of the 17 regions. Each region has many programs
designed to bring members from different chapters within each region
together. International USY is the last part. All 17 regions unite
annually, at International Convention.
International USY also offers amazing summer
programs. We run trips to Israel & Europe, Cross Country Bus Tours,
Camping Trips, and a Study Program in NYC at Barnard University
and the Jewish Theological Seminary. Contact us for more info on any of
these amazing summer experiences.
Har Shalom USY is a member of the Seaboard Region of USY. The Seaboard
Region is made up of Maryland, DC, Virginia, and parts of North Carolina. We are based at Congregation Har Shalom in Potomac, Maryland.
We look forward to seeing you at some of our upcoming events!
