Ariel Ometz BBYO
Jewish teens in grades 8 – 12 find themselves here!
One of the ways you can get involved with the Jewish Community is with BBYO New England Region through the Acton and surrounding area chapter, Ariel Ometz BBYO. BBYO New England Region focuses on developing teen leaders while building strong life-long friendships, learning about Judaism and Israel, doing community service and pursuing social justice. The Ariel Ometz chapter offers bagel brunches, events for members and prospects, as well as events for members only. The New England Region also sponsors regional events for teens in eastern MA and RI.
Who can participate?
Teens can participate between 8 – 12 grade depending on the event and locality. Teens are officially able to join the Ariel Ometz chapter in their 8th grade year and join overnight programs and all other regional activities in their second semester of their 8th grade year.
