Job Description

Organization Summary:
Since becoming an independent organization in 2002, BBYO has built a powerful platform of professionals, volunteers and teens who are capable of delivering a wide menu of compelling experiences to the Jewish teen audience. Since that time, the number of teen participants has more than doubled to 36,000, its North American staff has grown to over 100 professionals, and its budget exceeds $20 million. During the next five years BBYO will fully leverage this platform by offering clearly defined learning objectives, more program experiences, more opportunities to connect and more substantive tools to measure impact, ultimately sending a more passionate generation of young Jews to campus and young adulthood.

Position Summary:

The BBYO Connect Program Associate will seek to fulfill the BBYO Connect Mission: To create a community of Jewish 6th, 7th and 8th graders through social and meaningful experiences that will serve as a gateway to continued involvement in Jewish life in BBYO.  This will be accomplished through the following activities

  • Develop innovative programs that engage middle school teens socially, culturally, communally and intellectually through programming in three primary “fold” focus areas: Social, Judaic and Service.
  • Support and inspire teens by creating engaging opportunities which will lead them to continued involvement in Jewish life.
  • Serve as a Jewish role model and experiential educator.
