Mid-America Region: Kansas City Council

About Kansas City Council

BBYO Kansas City Council is comprised of chapters in the Greater Kansas City area. We are a part of Mid-America Region, which includes Omaha, St. Louis and Minnesota. We have 4 chapters in the Greater Kansas City area, engaging over 200 Jewish teens in our area.

By becoming a member of Kansas City Council, teens are afforded the opportunity to experience local programming in their communities, regional programming such as dances, community service days, sports events, and weekend-long conventions, and international programming at large scale conferences and BBYO Summer Experiences.

Through youth-led and staff-supported programs, BBYO Kansas City Council gives our members opportunities to develop leadership skills and positively affect their communities, the world, and themselves. We constantly strive to provide more Jewish teens with more meaningful Jewish experiences every day, so that they may become the future Jewish leaders in their communities and in the Jewish world at large.

Support of this program is provided by Jewish Federation of Greater Kansas City, Jewish Community Foundation of Kansas City, and the Karin Lichterman Memorial Fund.

BBYO Connect – a program for 6 – 8 graders:

Kansas City Council also offers BBYO Connect – a program for 6th-8th graders that serves as an introduction to BBYO's social and community-building experiences for Jewish middle schoolers. It provides monthly social events like bowling, laser tag, or virtual reality, and offers opportunities to form new friendship and build a supportive community before high school.
