  BBYO’s mission is simple: More Jewish Teens, More Meaningful Jewish Experiences.

  Throughout BBYO's 100-year history, the organization has brought leadership training, community service opportunities, Jewish education, a connection to Israel, and positive identity to thousands of Jewish youth in North America and beyond. While the organization’s structure has grown and modernized significantly over the past decade, the basis is the same; BBYO provides fun and meaningful Jewish experiences for Jewish teens everywhere. Today we have nearly 23,000 North American members and 10,000 international members.

  BBYO’s professional team is united in their belief that they can enrich the life of a young person in a very profound way. This is accomplished by bringing Jewish teens together so that they can form powerful relationships with each other and with inspiring adult role models. By creating compelling Jewish environments and experiences, BBYO helps young Jews feel pride in who they are, in control of their own destiny and a part of something bigger than themselves.
