With this year of service, Maccabi Tzair represents the actualization of Maccabi ideals: Zionist, educational, non-partisan and ready to serve.
Maccabi Tzair and Maccabi-affiliated youth organizations are active in North America, Latin America and Europe.

Nearly 2,000 of these counselors, from 20 countries, took part in MWU Education Department training seminars over the past 18 months.
