About Us

Since 2017, BBYO Germany has been part of ZWST, the Central Welfare Board of Jews in Germany, based in Frankfurt. As part of the Children, Youth, and Family Department, BBYO Germany works closely with 26 chapters across the country.

The region focuses on creating opportunities for Jewish teens to connect regularly through regional events, while also supporting strong local chapter life. Active communities include Kadima Düsseldorf and Olam Berlin, as well as ongoing programming in cities such as Gelsenkirchen, Bochum, and Dortmund.

BBYO Germany offers a welcoming space for Jewish teens ages 14–18 to connect, build friendships, and grow as leaders through shared experiences at both the local and regional levels.
