Growth
Through BBYO Stand UP, a
grassroots service, advocacy and
philanthropy initiative, AZA and
BBG chapters select causes they
want to support, from bullying to
human rights to world Jewry.
In BBYO North Texas Oklahoma
Region, an AZA chapter decided to
tackle two issues at once — negative
speech and pancreatic cancer — by
selling discount cards within their
local community, and donating the
proceeds to support efforts of the
Human Rights Campaign and the Mary
Crowley Cancer Research Center.
BBYO teens who become active in
BBYO Stand UP initiatives such as
these can now track their efforts, find
resources to enhance their work and
recruit the support of friends through
the new BBYO Stand UP website. In
addition, they can convene at AZA
and BBG Teen Issue Summits to focus
as a movement on particular, pressing
needs. This year, Summits addressed
human rights, genocide prevention
and Hurricane Sandy relief.
