PERSPECTIVES WE LOVE...
BBYO is the leading pluralistic teen movement aspiring to involve
more Jewish teens in more meaningful Jewish experiences. For
over 90 years, BBYO has been providing exceptional identity
building and leadership development experiences for hundreds
of thousands of Jewish teens.
Each year, we welcome Jewish teens from around the world
on highly impactful summer experiences close to home and
far away. Whether at camp, on campus, or on the road, our
programs represent the best of BBYO – leadership opportunities,
new friendships and expanded horizons. Teens return home
enthusiastic, confident and proud of their Jewish heritage,
knowing they are part of something bigger than themselves.
“BBYO has been so welcoming.
Right from the start, I made friends
and felt part of a community.”
“I came home with a new and more
personal connection to being
Jewish.”
“Traveling to Israel with BBYO
helped me realize that we as Jews

are part of a much larger people.”
We’re proud to welcome all Jewish teens on our summer
programs, and with the exception of our Leadership
Experiences, prior involvement with BBYO is not necessary
to participate!
Of course, the BBYO experience doesn’t end with summer.
Each spring we organize a highly moving national teen
delegation to the March of the Living. Our Israel Family Journey
initiative offers inspiring multi-generational travel to the Land of
Milk & Honey. And we offer a myriad of opportunities for Jewish
teens to connect, learn and grow throughout the school year –
locally, regionally, and beyond.
Inspiration, connection, community and so much more awaits.
I can’t wait to welcome you on a BBYO Summer Experience.
