USY Winter Convention in Atlanta!

Register now! USA | CAN

January 15-18, 2027

Grades 8-12

Mark your calendars for January 15 - 18 2027, because you do not want to be the one hearing about this secondhand from your group chat.

Here's what's waiting for you in the ATL:

🏨 Three nights of nonstop Ruach

🕯️ Rockin' Kabbalat Shabbat and Havdalah you'll be singing for weeks

🍽️ Way too many snacks at Oneg

🤝 Social action projects that actually make a difference

🎉 Special programs, surprise guests, and memories you’ll treasure forever

👫 Your USY friends from across North America, all in one place

Whether it's your first convention or your fifth, Winter Convention in Atlanta is shaping up to be one for the books. Three nights means more time to bond, more time to dance, and more time to make this the highlight of your winter.

Spots (and scholarships!) go fast, so don't sleep on this one.

See you in Atlanta!
