BBG, CRW, and BBYO?
CRW - B’nai B’rith Youth Organization (BBYO)
The B’nai B’rith Youth Organization (BBYO) is a youth led, worldwide organization which provides opportunities for Jewish youth to develop their leadership potential, a positive Jewish identity and commitment to their personal development. The youth participate in democratically functioning small groups under the guidance of adult advisors and professional staff. The B'nai B'rith Youth Organization consists of three youth components designed to provide leisure-time programs of Jewish education, leadership, community service and recreation:
Aleph Zadik Aleph for eighth through twelfth grade boys
B'nai B'rith Girls for eighth through twelfth grade girls
B'nai B'rith Teen Connection for seventh and eighth grade boys and girls.
BBYO provides Jewish living and learning experiences for Jewish teenagers. Programs include holiday celebrations, religious services, inter-faith activities, institutes and seminars, music and dramatics, speech contests and athletic contests. BBYO operates youth camps in Starlight, Pennsylvania and in Mukwonago, Wisconsin that are used for Judaism programs and youth leadership training. The camps, with separate annual budgets are self-sustained. A summer exchange program for members for study and work in Israel is sponsored, with Israeli teenagers sent to the United States for a similar experience.
Central Region West BBYO provides Jewish teens from the San Francisco Bay Area with opportunities to create a strong Jewish identity, gain valuable leadership skills, help the community, and grow into capable young adults. Friends may come, and friends may go. But friends are forever in BBYO. The friendships made through BBYO last a lifetime.
