Lead a team of two or the entire movement. BBYO provides endless opportunities designed for teens with any leadership experience.

Chair Positions & Committees
Designated by the S'gan/S'ganit, chairpersons execute specific roles that are typically less of a time commitment. Committees accomplish the same purpose, though more hands on deck means committees may have a broader range of responsibilities
AIT/MIT Boards
AZA's Alephs in Training (AITs) and BBG's Members in Training (MITs) are new members who have yet to learn the ins and outs of BBYO. One way they do so is by running for their chapter's AIT/MIT board, which includes the same position as the chapter board and serves as a training and education experience.
Regional Opportunities
Regional Board
Michigan Region's regional board is elected annually and works to bring the very best Jewish experience to the entire region on a larger scale. Many teens opt to run for regional board after finishing one or more terms on chapter board.
In addition to their listed duties, each regional board member is responsible for assisting their chapter counterparts.

Regional Leadership Network
The Regional Leadership Network (RLN) is Michigan's cohort of teens who are committed to making the jump from chapter-level to regional leadership. The network is composed of a number of committees and chairpersons with various objectives, all of whom collaborate closely with an assigned regional board member. RLN members gain experience with larger-scale leadership while under the guidance of experienced regional board members.
