Beth Emeth has partnered with BBYO — the world’s leading pluralistic Jewish teen movement — to offer middle school and high school students the opportunity to connect with one another, volunteer in the community, celebrate their Jewish heritage, prepare for leadership roles and travel the world together, all within a Jewish context. Chapter Meetings (Grades 8-12)
BBYO’s renowned leadership model of experiential democracy, with
teens leading other teens and creating their own BBYO programs
under the guidance of adult volunteers and staff, is carried out
through AZA chapters (for young men) and BBG chapters (for young
women). Our chapters meet every Wednesday (September through
May, excluding holidays and school breaks) from 6pm to 8pm at the
Prosserman JCC, 4588 Bathurst Street, Toronto, in Room 1-23.
See bbyo.ca/beby for membership options.
Regional Programs (Grades 8-12)
