BBYO provides teens with the opportunity to be part of a global movement spanning 61 countries and boasting an impressive 70,000+ members, and one that is celebrating its centennial this year. This organization allows Jewish teens to meet, build friendships, and bond over BBYO’s ideals of fraternity, democracy, and Judaism.

Alongside these events, teens can also attend conventions, two annually with South Florida, where hundreds of teens spend Shabbat and a weekend together at a hotel celebrating Judaism and learning leadership. Alongside these, teens can also attend International Convention, where thousands of teens from around the world meet for 5 days to learn, celebrate, and have fun together, alongside people like the Second Gentleman of the US, TV Star Maddie Ziegler, and many other past guests. BBYO also provides unparalleled leadership opportunities for teens, with them being able to serve various roles on chapter, regional, and even international boards, alongside various leadership roles all around.
