BBYO

In early Fall 2012, a small group of teens (literally two) came together and founded a chapter of the very successful international teen-led Jewish youth movement, BBYO. By the end of the 2012/13 school year, the chapter had grown to 45 members, tripling the initial year-end growth goal. The quality of the program — including the strength of relationships, the leadership development, the community service contributions and the overall inclusiveness — has grown tremendously as well. And, most importantly, this group knows how to have fun.

Judah BBYO is comprised of 9th–12th grade Jewish teens from the greater Greenwich community (including Stamford and Rye Brook, NY) and all Jewish teens, regardless of Synagogue affiliation, are welcome to join. Our co-ed chapter meets on select Wednesday evenings from 6:30 pm–8:00 pm, in addition to other monthly local programs. Members are also encouraged to participate in regional programs, such as conventions and service learning trips. BBYO also partners with organizations such as AIPAC and J-Teen. Leadership opportunities are plentiful!
