About Us

BBYO Balkans has been connecting Jewish teens across Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia since 2012.

Today, the region includes six chapters working closely with local JCCs to create opportunities for teens to connect, build friendships, and engage in Jewish life. Programs are planned and led by teens, with support from advisors and community partners.

Through these experiences, teens develop leadership skills, strengthen their connection to Jewish identity, and build relationships across countries as part of a shared regional community.
