An inclusive and pluralistic teen-led movement for Jewish teens looking to create more meaningful experiences, learn leadership skills and have fun.
BBYO Sydney (B’nai B’rith Youth Organisation)
BBYO is student-driven, where teens develop leadership skills through involvement in the BBYO Sydney chapter or leadership board to plan and run events and opportunities for their peers and Jewish teens in the community.
BBYO plays a significant role in the B’nai B’rith Journey for Jewish teens by providing a social outlet outside of school, as well as leadership opportunities including regional events and camps. BBYO also connects students to a wide range of international opportunities, through the annual International Convention, International Leadership Training Conference, international committees and more!
Guided by the BBYO Sydney Advisor, teens are taught to strengthen their Judaism, their leadership capabilities and experience BBYO’s international opportunities.
BBYO Sydney is housed and powered by BBNSW. While BBYO Melbourne is in collaboration with UJEB, and BBYO ACT is now being established in Canberra alongside the ACT Jewish Community as well as a new chapter starting in Perth.
BBYO is open to all Jewish students in years 8-12.

INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION (IC)
Considered to be the largest gathering of Jewish youth worldwide, BBYO’s annual International Convention aims to unite Jewish teens from over 60 countries in an American city for 2 weeks of travel, learning, concerts and connection with Jewish teens from all over the world.
B’nai B’rith has sent teens from BBYO Melbourne, BBYO Sydney, BBYO Canberra and BBYO Perth to the International Convention: In 2019 (Denver), 2020 (Dallas), 2022 (Washington DC), 2023 (Dallas) and 2024 (Orlando).
IC is attended by more than 6,000 Jewish teens, as well as educators, philanthropists and celebrities. Teens who attend IC bring back life-long friends, memories and newfound leadership skills and enthusiasm to be a part of BBYO Australia.
Expressions of interest for IC in Denver, Colorado are now open below.
