Mission

The B’nai B’rith Youth Organization (BBYO) is a youth-led, worldwide organization which provides opportunities for Jewish youth to develop their leadership potential, a positive Jewish identity and commitment to their personal development.

 

Objectives/Services

For more than 80 years, BBYO has been providing exceptional identity enrichment and leadership development experiences for Jewish teens.  Now, more than ever, BBYO’s programs in 60 communities across North America are providing innovative opportunities for teens to connect with one another, take part in community service projects, navigate the college admissions process, and travel the world.  These experiences provide each participant with a network of lifelong friends and a perspective which adds value and meaning to life.

 

BBYO provides Jewish living and learning experiences for Jewish teenagers. Programs include holiday celebrations, religious services, inter-faith activities, institutes and seminars, a summer exchange program in Israel, music and dramatics, speech contests and athletic contests. BBYO operates youth camps in Starlight, Pennsylvania and in Mukwonago, Wisconsin that are used for Judaism programs and youth leadership training. The camps, with separate annual budgets, are self-sustained.
