The Minnesota JCC is proud to be the home to the North Star Council of BBYO. BBYO is a pluralistic Jewish teen movement and has a long history in the Twin Cities. Being a part of BBYO creates a wide range of opportunities for our teens, including the chance to engage with other teens from around the world through local, regional, and international programming, summer travel programs across the globe, leadership summits, and so much more. We are committed to providing meaningful opportunities for every Jewish teen in the Twin Cities and to meet them where they are.
For over 100 years, BBYO has empowered countless teens—maybe even you—with their first leadership experiences, building Jewish pride, lasting friendships, and self-confidence. Today, providing a safe, supportive space where Jewish teens can truly be themselves is more important than ever.
Membership fees for BBYO programming goes directly to National BBYO. Local staffing and programming are funded by the Minnesota JCC, thanks to generous local donors who are committed to creating more Jewish experiences for more Jewish teens.
Thanks to a generous matching grant from friends and supporters Merle & Mort Kane, your gift will be DOUBLED, dollar-for-dollar, up to $25,000!
