For more than 85 years, BBYO has been providing exceptional identity enrichment and leadership development experiences for Jewish teens in grades 9-12. Now, more than ever, we provide 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. Our office is located in the JCC adjacent to the Teen Center. For more information, contact Rachel Hillman at 301-348-3784 or rhillman@bbyo.org.

 

Teens design programs that cover a wide range of activities. These often take place on Saturday evenings and are almost always open to prospective members. Come join in the fun! Call the BBYO office for information about upcoming chapter programs.

 

On most Monday nights, 10 of our chapters have meetings at the JCC, which are open to prospective members. We also have one chapter that meets on Sunday nights at the JCC, one chapter located in Laurel and one in the Germantown/Gaithersburg area. Please call for more information or to get involved with a chapter.
