The objectives of the movement are twofold. Firstly, we aim to encourage pioneering through education and the creation of communal, social action communities. In addition, we seek to create an equal and just society by reducing social and economical gaps in Israel. Thousands of children and youth participate in Ha'Machanot Ha'Olim activities, including weekly, regional, and nation-wide seminars, trips and community projects. The educational process is based on five main elements: pioneering, Zionism, social action, humanism and democracy. Our programming targets a wide population including immigrants, normative youth and youth at risk.
