Rainier AZA #1550

Rainier AZA 1550 is a BBYO chapter for the Seattle area, located in the evergreen region, where we strive to help Jewish teens connect to their identity and each other.

Become a Member

Beginning in 8th grade and anytime throughout high school, teens may join as members of BBYO. Membership through high school graduation is $249. This is a one-time membership, non-refundable fee paid when a teen joins an AZA, BBG or BBYO chapter.

Should the membership fee pose a hardship for any family, financial assistance will be available, as has always been our practice. We want to ensure that every Jewish teen, from all socio-economic backgrounds, can participate in BBYO. Additionally, scholarship will remain available for specific BBYO events as well as $3,000 vouchers for any Jewish teen who is interested in traveling to Israel on a BBYO Passport program.

Additionally if you would like to get more information or have any questions you can contact our regional president Dan Mezistrano with the number:
