Who we are? 

We are the Lower Mainland Region of USY! We run programs for Jewish Youth, Atid (gr. 4-5), Kadima (gr. 6-7) and USY (gr. 8-12). We run day programs (like bowling, cafe hangs and Hannukah parties), conventions (weekend shabbatons) in our area and join USY International Conventions travelling across North America. 

​​

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.

Where we are

We are the Lower Mainland Region of USY  located on the unceded and ancestral territory of the hÉ™nÌ“qÌ“É™minÌ“É™mÌ“ and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh speaking peoples, the xÊ·mÉ™θkÊ·É™yÌ“É™m (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and sÉ™lilwÉ™taɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, and has been stewarded by them since time immemorial.

As we cultivate our Jewish identity in these lands we recognize and appreciate the local Indigenous nations.
