North Florida Region

South East (West Coast, Central and North Florida)

About Us

North Florida Region (NFR) comprises chapters throughout southwest, western, central, and northern Florida, with communities in Orlando, Tampa, Sarasota, Fort Myers, Gainesville, and Melbourne.

NFR engages more than 200 Jewish teens, offering opportunities to participate in local programming, regional experiences such as community service days and weekend conventions, and international programs through BBYO’s broader network.

Chapters hold events every other week, all planned by teens, for teens, ranging from social activities like bowling and painting to programs focused on leadership development and social justice. A parent, advisor, or regional staff member is always on hand to ensure safety and health.

Through youth-led and staff-supported programs, BBYO North Florida Region provides teens with opportunities to develop leadership skills, build community, and create meaningful Jewish experiences.
