BBYO is not your typical youth group.
It’s a worldwide, pluralistic, teen movement bringing together high school students from all over the globe, with diverse interests and from various Jewish backgrounds. Your BBYO experience can be whatever you want it to be. Looking to make new friends? Need to improve your leadership skills? Want to make a difference in the world? Love to play sports? Enjoy traveling to new places and meeting new people? Then you’ve come to the right place.
Each BBYO member is part of a chapter made up of teens from their community. Chapters are where you have meetings, plan programs, and hang out with your friends.
Join thousands of Jewish teens across the world in redefining how we shape our future through volunteering, advocacy, friendships, and fun. Membership from Grade 9 to high school graduation allows you to enjoy the BBYO benefits that last a lifetime.
With the programming year kicking off in September and running until June, teens have the opportunity to connect with each other at weekly programs that promote teen leadership, community service and social action. BBYO teaches teens the importance of community. Leadership development is an important aspect of BBYO, and we ensure that there is a strong element of fun to BBYO programming as well. Be sure to keep your eye open for exciting events and opportunities with BBYO.
BBYO programming is completely teen-led and staff-supported, offering teens exciting and exclusive events in their own community. These range from weekend conventions to sports leagues, social events, and community service projects. Let us know how best to contact you (or your teen), and we’ll make sure to be in touch with more information!
