Leadership

As a teen-led organization, teens can run for and be elected to boards, where they acquire leadership skills and learn how to plan and run programming, delegate responsibility and communicate with peers and adults.

International Leadership Team

USY is currently in the process of envisioning how we can create the space for our teens to be even more empowered over their USY experience. During this time we have a group of teens that have volunteered to lead the charge. Click on the link below to learn more about our interim International Leadership Team.
