  • Panim El Panim
    • We are excited to be able to offer the opportunity for Cleveland Jewish teens to attend Panim el Panim: The Institute for Jewish Leadership and Values on Presidents’ Day weekend, February 19 thru 22, 2012 in Washington DC.  At Panim el Panim seminars teens learn from and become friends with a broad network of Jewish teens from around the country. Together they receive advocacy training on a wide range of current topics, participate in service learning, and have the opportunity to lobby their elected officials on Capitol Hill, putting what they have learned into action. Teens participating in Panim el Panim seminars walk away with enhanced skills as a community leader and a greater understanding of civic engagement.
    • We are very fortunate to again be the recipient of a grant allowing our BBYO members to attend Panim for only $100 per teen.  This fee includes transportation, registration and all meals. The only additional costs are for personal expenses. There are a limited number of spots available for this subsidy. This program is open to all BBYO students in grades 10, 11 or 12. To allow more teens to take advantage of this opportunity, priority will be given to first time Panim participants are eligible for the subsidy.
  • March of The Living
    • On April 16-30, 2012, join-up with thousands of Jewish teens from around the world on the March of the Living. Bear witness to the Holocaust and its destruction in Poland, then celebrate the State of Israel in the Jewish Homeland.   This program is appropriate for Jewish high school students from across North America who exhibit maturity, leadership potential, and the ability to communicate their experiences with others. BBYO's March of the Living program is open to members and non-members alike.
