Greetings!
As advisor/Youth Director, you already change the lives of your teens every day. Check out the following opportunities to share with your chapter from International USY! Links are provided with additional information, but please feel free to contact us with questions!
1. Torah Bytes - USY-led video chat Torah Study. See your friends, learn something new and "hang out" with USY...in your own home, in your pajamas!
2. Do you have USYers who already make a difference in your community? Let us know! Register your community service hours so that USY can reach 18,000 hours of G'milut Chassadim through Operation 18,000.
4. Get your USYers pumped for IC in New Orleans! A very limited number of spaces are still available. Check out the promo video (below) and make sure your USYers have the #icnola registration link.
