Make an impact on the lives of Jewish teens every day.
Do you want to change the lives of young Jewish teens? Give back to your community? Expand your network? BBYO advisors serve as positive role models working in partnership with staff members to supervise and guide chapters. Advisors empower each and every BBYO member to do their best, develop new leadership skills, and grow into dynamic and engaged young Jewish leaders.
“BBYO has significantly impacted my life as both a BBG and now advisor. I have made life long friendships with other Jews that I never would have had without BBYO. I have gained a sense of community I had never felt before.” —Karoline Gotfried, NFR
