Hashomer Hatzair USA works with youth to build progressive Jewish values, links to Israel, community, and a commitment to social, environmental and economic justice in a setting based on youth leadership and responsibility. Since 1923, Hashomer Hatzair provides the highest quality youth-led informal education, enabling its youth members to take full responsibility for their education, culture, principles and active community participation while building life-long friendships. Through year-round programming and summer activities at Camp Shomria, each age group, led by youth leaders, learns and grows together in a setting that promotes and models youth leadership, individual excellence, mutual responsibility, social, environmental and economic justice, respect and cooperation.
