The Hamilton Jewish Federation, the cornerstone of Jewish life in Hamilton for more than 80 years, has formed a historic partnership with BBYO, the world’s leading pluralistic Jewish teen movement, to engage Jewish teens in the Hamilton area. 

As part of the collaboration, BBYO will launch a new chapter for teens in Grades 8-12, housed at J Hamilton, home of the Hamilton Jewish Federation and the Jewish Community Centre, located at 1605 Main St. W. The new chapter will temporarily be known as BBYO Hamilton, until the founding members choose a permanent name as part of the official chapter chartering process.
