A Youth Group

A Youth Group

Not many people know what their friends do outside of school besides sports or family. However, almost all of the Jewish teens at Bellaire High School participate in a youth group known as BBYO. BBYO is a non-profit international Jewish youth group that educates teens on leadership lessons and Jewish values in a fun way. Currently, I am residing as the Vice-President of BBYO for Texas ( excluding Dallas). This current month I have been working with a committee of other teens to create our Regional Convention. Our Region is made up of over 700 teens residing from Houston, Austin, and San Antonio.We are currently the third largest region in the international order which is made up of over 50,000 teenagers. From all over the world, this youth group that helps lead teens to a better life connects us. Although my time is almost up in BBYO, I want to spend my last couple of years having the time of my life. I would like to plan the best Regional Convention my region has ever seen. It is sad to say that not many people know how big the organization of BBYO is. Whenever my friends ask what are you doing, I tell them I’m at my youth group, but they never understand the full extent of what I’m doing. From community service to standing up for Israel, I am always doing something that is changing the world around me. BBYO is another life for me, one outside of school where I can change the world in the way I see it.
