BBYO ANNUAL REPORT: 2018–2019 (FY19) OUR TURN Dear Friends,

Several experts have dubbed this “The Year of the Teen,” with teenagers taking leadership roles in addressing some of society’s most pressing issues. As you can imagine, BBYO leaders across the globe are doing their part, building our Movement as they focus their collective power on efforts of tikkun olam—repairing our world.

Appropriately, “Our Turn” was the theme for the 2019 school year selected by BBYO members. When unthinkable events rocked and Poway this year, BBYO teens stepped up to support one another without missing a beat. Chapters internationally reached out to their Jewish peers—in many cases, to close friends made through BBYO experiences— with calls for action, support, and prayers. After the Tree of Life shooting in Pittsburgh, when teens gathered for a community Havdallah, they shared that “it is ‘Our Turn’ to ensure that every community is respected and safe to thrive. Our response to acts of anti-Semitism, racism, xenophobia, homophobia, Islamophobia, to all forms of discrimination, will be with action.”

And while the BBYO community is quick to unite in times of trouble, we are always ready to celebrate our moments of triumph. At International Convention in Denver this year, BBYO received a historic $25 million endowment gift from Ted and Harriette Perlman in honor and memory of Ted’s mother and BBG founder, Anita M. Perlman. This gift will help propel our Movement forward and support new efforts to mobilize BBG alumnae to take on positions of leadership in their communities through mentorship, training, and community building.

Overall, BBYO saw record growth through expansion beyond . With over 50 new chapters this year, BBYO now has a presence in 51 countries and includes over 33,000 teen members. Our vision for a globally connected community of young inspired by teen leadership, inclusivity, , and Jewish learning is more real than ever before.

We are grateful to our donors and partner organizations for investing in Jewish teens through BBYO, and for supporting our efforts to develop resilient, bold, and impactful young leaders around the world. Thank you for bringing our mission—more Jewish teens, more meaningful Jewish experiences—to life. Sincerely,GAMECHANGERS Matthew Grossman Noga Hurwitz Chief Executive Officer Anita M. Perlman International N’siah
