For yet another exciting year, we’re thrilled to welcome many new and returning partners to our stages for IC 2026. 

First, we are so excited to welcome groups that have consistently supported BBYO’s mission and vision. Birthright Israel, MASA Israel Journey, RootOne, TalkIsrael, Authentic Israel, Aardvark Israel, and Ono International continue to help teens explore meaningful connections to Israel. The Jewish Agency for Israel, World Jewish Congress (WJC), Jewish National Fund USA (JNF), and Alexander Muss High School in Israel (AMHSI/HSI) remind us that Jewish people are everywhere and that there is a home for all of us. 

However, our partners go past Israel advocacy. As IC delegates move from high school into campus life, we’re proud to work alongside Hillel International, The Kraft Center for Jewish Student Life, Gesher Campus Care, Franklin & Marshall College, Hebrew Union College, URJ, HUC, and The Jewish Theological Seminary (JTS). Chabad on Campus International/CTeen and Jewish Student Union (JSU) will also be IC this year, working to ensure that Jewish life remains vibrant and accessible wherever students are.

This year’s convention will also feature partnerships rooted in values and impact, such as Repair the World, Voices of the Forgotten, Jewish Youth Promise, StandWithUs, J Street, Keshet, Gift of Life, and Prizmah, to inspire delegates to become leaders, advocate for others, and build inclusive communities, all while learning about scholarship opportunities. Diller Teen Awards and Brandeis Better to Learn elevate excellence in education and leadership, while Younited School and Liquid Screen Design partner with us to expose IC delegates to innovation and creativity, if that is something they want to pursue.

We’re equally excited to collaborate with various fraternities founded on Jewish values, such as Alpha Epsilon Phi (AEPhi), Alpha Epsilon Pi (AEPi), Sigma Delta Tau (SDT), and Zeta Beta Tau (ZBT). 

Maccabi USA will be featured at this year’s IC as well. 

We can’t wait for IC as a whole, and hope all delegates get to experience and learn about each of the partnerships we have!
