Chapter Leadership Training Conference (CLTC)
CLTC is BBYO’s dynamic training experience for AZA and BBG Chapter leaders. At CLTC, teens grow personally, explore their Jewish identity and learn specific skills to help them strengthen their Chapter at home. This is accomplished through a hands-on, interactive and experiential approach. The participants are divided into mock AZA and BBG Chapters where teamwork and community must be established to successfully accomplish the various tasks that are assigned during the session. CLTC does not end the day the session is over. The friendships that are created at CLTC are monumental. Participants use these friendships during the year to network on programming, elections, speeches, fundraising and other activities. In addition, CLTC participants receive monthly emails with additional information on topics that were covered during the summer.
The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens informs the leadership experience and inspires teens to develop good work habits, to teach them how to work with their peers in a positive environment, to help them recognize their strengths, and to set standards for themselves now and in their future years as adults.
