Meet our new BBYO advisor, Arthur Blue. Though only 8th - 12th graders can formally become BBYO members, we are inviting the 6th and 7th grade cohorts to join us in our locally sponsored events.
The JHJC is offering to pay for each new member's lifetime BBYO membership fee of $149 if you are founding members of the JHJC Chapter.
