Chapter Leadership Training Conference (CLTC)

CLTC is BBYO’s dynamic training experience for AZA and BBG leaders. At CLTC, teens grow personally, explore their Jewish identity and learn specific skills to help them strengthen their Chapter at home. Through a hands-on, interactive and experiential approach, teens leave CLTC primed to be AZA and BBG leaders.

The participants are divided into mock AZA and BBG Chapters where teamwork and community are established as AZA’s and BBG’s tackle real-life chapter scenarios. Teens enjoy music, Israeli dancing and learning about Judaism on the beautiful campuses of Beber Camp in Mukwonago, WI and Bethany College in Bethany, WV.

Program Highlights

In addition to leadership skills, participating teens learn the policies and procedures established in the AZA /BBG model:

AZA/BBG Traditions: history and songs, Cardinal Principles and Menorah Pledge
Starting a New Chapter: chapter standards, working with advisors, and fundraising
“How-To” Sessions: parliamentary procedure, problem solving, BBYO policies, youth dashboard training, and best practices
Mobilizing teens regarding international initiatives and campaigns
