A Century of Meaningful Experiences
With chapters in 60+ countries and a network of more than 400,000 alumni, BBYO is everywhere. For over a century, we've empowered Jewish teens to build community, develop leadership, and shape a better world. Rooted in tradition and driven by innovation, BBYO continues to inspire generations of young Jews to lead with confidence, purpose, and pride. Now, it's your turn.
This is your chance to shape the Jewish future and have a ton of fun along the way.
Joining Made Simple
Beginning in 8th grade and anytime throughout high school, teens may join as members of BBYO. Membership through high school graduation is $249. This is a one-time, non-refundable fee paid when a teen joins an AZA, BBG, or BBYO chapter and covers them for life.
Should the membership fee pose a hardship, financial assistance will be available, as has always been our practice. We want to ensure that any Jewish teen, from all socio-economic backgrounds, can participate in BBYO. Additionally, scholarship will remain available for specific BBYO events as well as $3,000 vouchers provided by RootOne for any Jewish teen who is interested in traveling to Israel on an eligible BBYO Passport program and completes the non-need based requirements.
