Summer Partnership Opportunities
Bring Your Community to the World
Synagogues, camps, schools, and community organizations like you partner with BBYO to create a custom summer experience your teens—and families—will never forget. From Israel adventures rooted in identity and connection to immersive travel across Europe and beyond, we design programs that reflect your community’s goals while delivering the structure, safety, and impact of a BBYO Summer. We work with you to create experiences that strengthen community, deepen identity, and stay with teens long after they return home.

What a Partnership Can Look Like
No two partnership programs are the same. Here’s how we tailor each experience to reflect the goals and identities of the communities we work with.
Designed for Meaningful Connection
Israel partnership programs are built to meet your teens where they are—balancing exploration, education, and reflection. Whether your community prioritizes leadership, service, or connection to Israeli society, we shape each experience to align with your goals.
