The ZYC exists to co-ordinate, assist and bring together the six movements (Betar, Bnei Akiva, Habonim Dror, Hashomer Hatzair, Hineni and Netzer). We do this by facilitating communication between the movements and by organizing and promoting events that focus on aspects of our shared Zionist ideology. We also aim to provide the leaders of our youth movements with as much training, resources and educational events as possible and give the Zionist Youth a stronger voice in the wider community under a united banner. Throughout the year we run numerous activities including Tikkun Leil Shavuot, ZYC Jamboree for year 10/11's, the Frank Stein Soccer shield and others.
