Advisor HUB As BBYO advisors, you are on the front lines with teens, bringing BBYO’s mission of more Jewish teens, more meaningful Jewish experiences to life at the grassroots level. You empower teens to be the best versions of themselves. You dare them to take on challenges beyond their wildest dreams. You equip them with the tools they need to succeed. You cheer them on when they soar and help pick them up when they fall. It’s a significant responsibility, but you are not in it alone. You have a network of 600+ advisors and 200+ professional staff around the world and tapping into this network is easier than ever before.
Welcome to BBYO’s Advisor Hub, your one-stop shop for resources, development opportunities, and advisor networking to help your teens, your chapter, and – let’s not forget – YOU grow and succeed.
BBYO advisors often wear many hats. One moment, you might be helping teens refine a program. The next you might be navigating a mental health issue. We like to think of advising as a pyramid divided into four sections: Safety, Health, and Policy at the base, Chapter Operations on the next level, Chapter Excellence on the third level, and Coaching, Mentorship, and Teen Growth at the top. Below you’ll find a selection of our most important resources for each part of the advisor pyramid. We’re also excited to offer professional development and training opportunities that will help you succeed, no matter which hat you’re wearing.
Safety, Health, and Policy Ensuring the health and safety of the teens in our care is our number one priority. You are another adult that our teens can come to and trust. Here, you can access BBYO health and safety policies, mandated reporting training, and mental health resources. Please note that a myBBYO login is required to view this page. Please contact Customer Service if you are unable to access. READ MORE
CHAPTER OPERATIONS It takes a fair amount of logistical and administrative work to keep the day-to-day operations of a chapter moving. We have to be on top of MyBBYO approvals and bank accounts and understand the basics of BBYO. Here is a selection of resources to help you keep organized. READ MORE •
CHAPTER EXCELLENCE Chapters come in all shapes and sizes and are the building blocks of our movement. To ensure that a teen walking into a chapter meeting or program is having a high-quality experience, there are certain standards that every chapter should meet. We’re excited to present a curated selection here that touch on membership, calendering, programming, ritual, and governance. Looking for more? The BBYO Toolbox has a range of resources that train teens, staff, and advisors on a variety of skills. READ MORE
COACHING, MENTORSHIP, AND TEEN GROWTH Since BBYO is a teen-led organization, we’re often asked what role adults should play. The answer is simple: teens are in the driver's seat, and adults (advisors and staff) are in the passenger seat. Our job is to support the teens throughout their journey – challenging them, pushing them, sharing advice, and connecting them with resources – so teens can do the best work possible. Below are resources that will strengthen your relationship as a mentor to the teens in your chapter and region. READ MORE •
