NCSY (formerly National Conference of Synagogue Youth) is a Jewish youth organization and the adolescent outreach program of the Orthodox Union, founded in 1954. The organization focuses on connecting Jewish teens to their heritage and traditions through educational and social programming, with operations primarily in the United States, Canada, and Israel. NCSY offers various programs including summer camps, Israel trips, leadership development initiatives, and regional Shabbat events. The organization is structured into geographic regions across North America, each running local chapters that host regular activities and events. Their programming combines religious education with recreational activities, creating an environment that appeals to both observant and non-observant Jewish youth. The organization employs professional staff and trained advisors who work directly with teens, providing mentorship and guidance. NCSY has developed specialized programs such as Jewish Student Union (JSU) clubs in public high schools and The Anne Samson Jerusalem Journey (TJJ) summer program in Israel. Throughout its history, NCSY has adapted its approach to remain relevant to contemporary Jewish teens while maintaining its core mission of Jewish continuity and education. The organization serves tens of thousands of Jewish teenagers annually through its various programs and initiatives.
