BBYO

We're back with another "SNAP OF THE WEEK", highlighting Courtney Fields, our Senior Manager for BBYO Movement Experiences. In the words of a colleague, "Courtney has hit the ground running full speed with all things Passport. She brings such a great attitude and eager approach to our recruitment. She is always willing to share ideas, help brainstorm and bring her own perspective into the conversation." Thank you Courtney for all the hard work you do! #culture #leadership #thankyou #aboveandbeyond

In case you haven't seen already, we’re excited to share that our amazing BBYO staff just received a fresh new look with updated headshots. As the faces behind the impactful programs, mentorship, and leadership development we provide, it’s only fitting that our team shines as bright as the incredible work they do every day.

Is your teen ready to stand out in the college admission process? Every year, our CEO, Matt Grossman, sends a letter to over 120 college admissions officers highlighting aspects of the BBYO high school experience that carry over into a successful college career. This year, he highlights how BBYO members cultivate leadership skills while standing against hate and discrimination. Read the letter here: https://lnkd.in/g3-T2Zjb

Your BBYO staff team just wrapped an incredible week in Fairfax, Virginia, where we gathered for our annual Staff Conference. From sharing new ideas to celebrating our summer spotlight award winners, we spent time learning, growing, and recharging for the exciting year ahead. Thank you to our Talent Team and Staff Conference Planning Team members for putting this together. We're leaving energized, inspired, and ready to bring it all home.

We're proud to recognize BBYO alumnus Max Perry for his recent achievement in being awarded the prestigious Obama-Chesky Voyager Scholarship for Public Service! 🎉 As a former Regional Shaliach for Kentucky Indiana Ohio Region, Max’s journey in BBYO was marked by his dedication to Holocaust education and combating antisemitism, including his leadership of the 2022 Holocaust Survivor Cincinnati Speaking Tour. Now a junior at Vanderbilt University, Max will use this scholarship to further his work combating antisemitism, promoting civil discourse to reduce political polarization, and expanding access to education for non-traditional students. His BBYO experience was instrumental in shaping his leadership and commitment to public service. Congratulations, Max – your BBYO family is cheering you on!
