Greater Jersey Region

About Us

Greater Jersey Region (GJR) is proud to be the home of the most amazing chapters and teens in BBYO! Our region has over 1,300 teens and 28 chapters that serve New Jersey from Bergen County to the Jersey Shore. We welcome any and all Jewish teens looking to partake in meaningful Jewish experiences, leadership opportunities, and community service with their friends. Please use this page to learn about BBYO, local, regional, and international events on the horizon, and how you can help support us.

Chapters in GJR meet every other week for regular chapter meetings and programs. Meetings include updates on upcoming events, fun/educational/interactive programs, and Israel updates. Chapters also host dances throughout the year for the entire region. Events are planned by teens, for teens, and programming ranges from fun activities like ice skating and camping overnights, to communal Shabbat celebrations and leadership trainings. A parent, advisor, or regional staff member is always on hand to ensure the safety and health of our teens. 

Fun Fact: We have the best bagels in all of BBYO!
