Regional Overview: GMR has 10 strong chapters in the Windy City of Chicago full of the most energetic members in the Order! Each chapter meets regularly for a weekly meeting or program. We have dedicated advisors who are here to help guide and serve our members as positive role models.

BBYO in Chicago use to be known as the Illinois Council and Chicago Council. 4 years ago the council's merged to what is now known as the Great Midwest Region and will continue to carry on with it's unique flavor and tradition.

GMR is here to help our youth develop leadership skills and a Jewish identity in a friendly atmosphere!
