Membership

We are a membership based organization, where membership begins on the chapter level. Chapters are responsible for collecting:

  • Membership information
  • Fees for teens to attend chapter/local events (when applicable)

You are responsible for entering this information, along with dues payments, into the online International USY/Kadima membership system in order for your chapter’s teens to participate in regional and international programming. Failure to do so may hinder your teens’ ability to:

  • Attend events
  • Receive scholarship from regional and International USY
  • Hold regional or international leadership positions
  • Vote in regional or international elections
