BBYO (formerly B'nai B'rith Youth Organization) is a pluralistic Jewish youth movement consisting of kids in grades 8 to 12.[1] In 2002 the movement split from B'nai B'rith International, which had been its parent organization, to become BBYO, Inc. BBYO's mission is, "More Jewish Teens, More Meaningful Jewish Experiences." The organization emphasizes its youth leadership model, in which teen leaders are elected by their peers on a local, regional and international level, and are given the opportunity to make their own programmatic decisions. Membership to BBYO is open to any high school or 8th grade student who identifies as a Jew
