BBYO is incredibly grateful and thankful to the outgoing Grand and International Boards for leading our Movement during the 2023-24 programming year. Life Ceremonies are a special tradition in BBYO that allow seniors to share their memories, wisdom, advice, and thanks with current members in BBYO. Explore this year's International Board Life Speeches to get a glimpse into their BBYO experience. We will miss you 99/79!
