BBYO

What is BBYO?

BBYO is a youth-led, worldwide group that provides opportunities for teens to develop their leadership potential. With the support of peers, participants commit to personal growth while cultivating their Jewish identity. BBYO includes out-of-town conventions, weekend programs, community activism, volunteer opportunities and many other activities for high school students.

How do our Teen Leaders describe BBYO?

“BBYO is a teen-led organization that focuses on leadership skills, friends, community, and meaningful Jewish experiences. Big Easy BBYO might be a small chapter, but we are mighty! We plan events like pool parties, mini golf, Shabbat dinners, and attend regional conventions with other BBYO chapters throughout the southeast region. We are proud of our chapter's growth and invite all Jewish teens to join us.” - Maya (Chapter President)

Who can be involved in BBYO?

Jewish-identifying teens in Grades 9 - 12 (regardless of JCC membership) are invited to join Big Easy BBYO!
