BBYO is open to all Jewish teens in grades 9-12. This youth-led organization provides opportunities for Jewish youth to develop a positive Jewish identity and leadership skills through programs the teens design for themselves. BBYO aims to cultivate and encourage Jewish leadership among teenagers, teaching them responsibility, discipline, tzedakah and Jewish values. 

 

Teen Connection is a branch of BBYO specifically designed for 6-8 graders. This program offers a wide variety of recreational and social programs for Jewish tweens which are planned and supervised by professional staff. Please call the BBYO office for information about upcoming Teen Connection program dates.

 

Our office is located in the JCCGW adjacent to the Teen Center. For more information, please call the BBYO office at 301-984-6073.

 

 

In BBYO, teens design programs that cover a range of activities. These often take place on Saturday evenings and are usually open to prospective members. Recent programs include a lock-in overnight at Shadowland LaserTag, a breast cancer awareness night, a self-defense program, and an “Iron Chef” event. Come join in the fun! Call the BBYO office for information about upcoming chapter programs.

 

On most Monday nights, most of our chapters meet at the JCCGW for meetings, which are open to prospective members. We also have one chapter that meets on Sunday nights at the JCCGW, as well as a chapter located in Laurel that meets on other days of the week.
