The Pacific Northwest Region, lovingly known as the Pinwheel Region, is one of the 15 different regions in USY, USCJ’s Youth Movement. The region was founded in 1955 and has been educating, entertaining, inspiring, and caring for USYers across America and Canada ever since. Pinwheel is most well known for our Ruach (spirit) and our sense of belonging/family. Our region (the largest geographically) extends throughout the Pacific Northwest of North America.
