BBYO, the world’s leading pluralistic Jewish teen movement, has been providing exceptional leadership programs and identity enrichment experiences for 100 years. We offer year-round activities in hundreds of local communities alongside inspiring world-wide travel experiences enabling teens to explore communal leadership, service, civics, Israel education and Jewish values, all while having fun, building a lifelong commitment to Jewish community, and forging friendships for life.
BBYO across Canada is growing rapidly and is now the largest Jewish teen platform nationally. Throughout British Columbia, BBYO has been shaping Jewish lives and inspiring vibrant Jewish community for decades. As the Movement looks to its next 100 years, BBYO seeks to expand its engagement of and deepen its impact on as many Jewish teens across British Columbia as possible. An ever-growing stronger BBYO CPR – Canada Pacific Region will ensure that Canada’s Jewish teens have the skills, networks, and knowledge to lead Canadian, and global, Jewry in the future.
Note: The BBYO region is currently named 'BBYO CPR – Canada Pacific Region', and its impact area is the whole of British Columbia.
Over the last couple of years, an exciting team of Jewish community leaders and leading Jewish institutions, in partnership with generations of parents and alumni, have united around a bold vision to lift BBYO CPR – Canada Pacific Region to new heights. BBYO is seeking a part-time Associate Regional Director excited to lead the region through its next evolution and eager to pursue its strategic goals. This individual will partner with a team of colleagues, volunteers, and teens across the region’s Jewish communal hubs, nurture a diverse network of stakeholders, and ensure that BBYO is providing a best-in-class experience for Jewish teens that’s meaningful, transformative, fun, and professional.
This BBYO CPR – Canada Pacific Region team member will build, strengthen, and maintain strategic partnerships with the Jewish Community Centre (JCC) of Greater Vancouver, the Jewish Federation of Greater Vancouver, Jewish schools, synagogues, and other key community stakeholders throughout British Columbia. The Associate Regional Director will work collaboratively to expand Jewish teen engagement, increase BBYO's visibility and impact, and develop meaningful opportunities for teens across the province. The ARD will also oversee and supervise all regional and chapter programs and events organized by BBYO teens throughout British Columbia, ensuring they are delivered safely, professionally, and in accordance with BBYO policies, standards, and educational goals.
You love working with teens. You’re creative, quick on your feet, and like your job to change every day. You’re not the kind of person who wants to sit behind a desk. You have an infectious personality and love getting others to join you in changing the world. You're a problem solver, skilled at juggling multiple priorities at once, and you enjoy being a part of a team.
We’re seeking a professional that is a self-starter, energetic, detail-oriented, organized and can work well in a team setting. Strong candidates are charismatic, have strong people skills, tested program experience, able to relate to teens and utilize their abilities to achieve BBYO’s mission of engaging more Jewish teens in more meaningful Jewish experiences.
S/he will possess a skill set that includes strong customer service skills, logical thinking, creative and professional writing, and event planning. You should be fearless about reaching out to anyone, and eager to take calculated programmatic risks that have often never been tested before. Candidates should be excited about an opportunity that goes beyond being only a youth-facing professional; we’re looking for someone who wants to build a brand, advocate for the Jewish community to embrace the voices and imaginations of its youth and run a highly professional affiliate of BBYO’s global movement. This is a role where you will grow your community building, programming, event planning, communications, fundraising, and business operations skills in a variety of ways.
We’re a global network of passionate professionals working to amplify Jewish teen life worldwide. We are the Jewish community’s largest and fastest growing pluralistic platform for reaching and inspiring Jewish teens, built on 100 years of storied history. We do this challenging and invigorating work through our partners in more than 725 local, teen-led chapters across more than 60 countries, at hundreds of weekend retreats during the school year and across a rapidly growing suite of global exchanges, campaigns and movement initiatives all year-round. Over the summer, we run dozens of immersive experiences including extensive Israel travel, missions and community tours across six continents, and a myriad of leadership camps. Our team is strong, agile, creative, inclusive and every day is different by design. We are fast-paced, high-energy, and results-driven, and we enjoy working together almost as much as we believe in the mission we are chasing together.
Compensation will be commensurate based on experience within an initial $25,000 CAD. The position will be built and supported to maintain a flexible work environment to help foster your preferred work-life blend.
