About the International Leadership Network (ILN)

The Grand Board of the Aleph Zadik Aleph and the International Board of the B’nai B’rith Girls lead, manage, and support the

The largest wave of opportunities open in June. See who is currently serving on the ILN leadership team for this school year.

Maccabi Tzair Ambassadors

The MTZ Ambassadors Fellowship is a unique program run in partnership between BBYO and Maccabi Tzair Israel. Each year, only twenty Israeli Maccabi Tzair teens are selected to serve as ambassadors. Ambassadors explore and strengthen their Israeli-Jewish identities, gain leadership skills and bring our Movements closer together. They lead Movement initiatives in their chapters, and connect our global movement to Israel by creating strong and meaningful peer-to-peer relationships.
