Our Priorities

For nearly a century, we've given the Jewish community around the world something to talk about. We're ready to turn the volume up.

Engage More Jewish Communities

Amplify BBYO’s Social Media Presence

We want to use social media strategically and effectively to highlight and showcase the Movement’s successes.

Foster Relationships with Brand Partners

We’ll connect you to new opportunities through establishing relationships with organizations you care about.

About Us

The Aleph Zadik Aleph (AZA) and the B’nai B’rith Girls (BBG) are a fraternity and sorority for Jewish teens—together, we are BBYO. Since our founding in 1924 (AZA) and 1944 (BBG), we have been member-led. Our priorities and programs reflect the interests and issues that matter most to us. Our pursuits are as diverse as our participants.

AZA and BBG welcome Jewish teens of all backgrounds, denominations, gender, race, sexual orientations, and socio-economic status as well as those with a range of intellectual, emotional, and physical abilities.
