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.
