Advisor HUB As BBYO advisors, you are working closely with the teens at the grassroots level, bringing BBYO’s mission of more Jewish teens, more meaningful Jewish experiences to life. 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 plan 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. Explore each part of the pyramid below to find a selection of our most important resources. We’re also excited to offer professional development and training opportunities that will help you succeed.
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 it. Click here to view safety, health, and policy resources.
CHAPTER OPERATIONS There is a lot of logistical and administrative work that needs to be done 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.

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 of resources that touch on membership, calendering, programming, ritual, and governance. Click here to view the resources.
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. Collected here are resources that will strengthen your relationship as a mentor to the teens in your chapter and region. Click here to view the resources. •
