• (4) Colaboración

A movement comprised of over 700 chapters in over sixty countries, BBYO serves a vital purpose in the global Jewish community, particularly regarding our commitment to community service. Part of BBYO’s diversity lies in teens’ ability to connect with a broad group of community service organizations. Whether it’s a national partnership, like BBYO’s with Repair the World, or a local connection, like Connecticut Valley Region’s with PJ Library, collaborating with other community-minded organizations can strengthen BBYO’s J-Serve campaigns across the globe. 

• (3) Celebración del centenario

This year is BBYO’s 100th Birthday!! And because of that, we are trying to get to 100,000 hours of community service. And by participating in J-Serve you can help us get to our 100,000 hour goal.

• (2) Espíritu comunitario

An effective J-Serve project is grounded in the communities of which Alephs and BBGs are a part. J-Serve is an amazing opportunity to collaborate with your community’s leaders, to produce a J-Serve project with local needs and organizations in mind. Baltimore Council, a community in an area that is heavily impacted by homelessness and food insecurity, focused its J-Serve campaign on combatting these problems, and other communities can as well. Find the issues that affect your city, council, region, or country, and take this opportunity to make an impact!

• (1) Tikkun Olam

One of BBYO’s primary pillars is Tikkun Olam. Tikkun Olam is Hebrew for the restoration of the world. The whole reason we do J-Serve is to help repair the world. Being in BBYO, we are representatives of Judaism. And one of the best ways to represent our culture and what we stand for is community service. When we go out as part of BBYO and do our community service, we are helping show that we as Jews care about the world around us, whether it be the people, the environment, the infrastructure, etc.
