Hit the road for the ultimate North American adventure!
For summer 2027 USY on Wheels is continuing our successful new format designed to give every teen the chance to craft their own journey. Now offering two unique pathways — Westbound, and Eastbound — you can choose a single leg of the trip or combine both for the ultimate 6.5-week adventure.
On USY on Wheels, Jewish life is part of the journey. Teens pray together daily, celebrate Shabbat with singing and dancing, and co-lead Torah services to grow as leaders. Life on the bus is just as fun as the destinations, with Tikkun Olam projects, dance parties, games, and more. Designed for current 8th–10th graders, Wheels is a chance to celebrate Judaism, build community, and discover that you can create kehilla (community) wherever life takes you.
Along each path, you’ll bond with friends, experience inspiring Jewish moments, and discover what it means to live Jewishly across North America. From seeing a baseball game in the midwest, to discovering the beauty of Yellowstone National Park, to creating artistic masterpieces at Cadillac Ranch, Wheels is an incredibly unique, meaningful, and fun way to spend your summer.
The USY on Wheels Summer Experience is our flagship program — now more flexible than ever so that more teens can find their adventure. Whether you join us for one path or the full ride, this is a summer of community, exploration, and memories that will last a lifetime.
