our vision for the future
Over the past 110 years, Hashomer Hatzair has had a profound impact on the identities and lives of its members. Likewise, Shomrimot the world over have made an outsized impact on their communities.
Today’s Jewish youth need Hashomer Hatzair, and the world needs them. We provide a home where young people are grounded in the progressive values of our movement, supported by intentional community in our collective living model, and empowered to be agents of change in the world around them.
The financial landscape of the movement, and of Hashomer Hatzair Canada, has evolved throughout the past century, but one thing has often been true: we have been operating - creating this outsized impact - in a resource-scarce context.
As we enter our next century, we have set the ambitious goal of raising one million dollars over the coming three years to transform Hashomer Hatzair Canada into an organization that has the resources it needs to truly thrive and grow.
Why? Because we believe in the transformative power of youth leadership to change the world.
We believe Hashomer Hatzair can and should be a platform from which young people can grow as thoughtful Jewish leaders inspiring their communities to create the future we all deserve in the face of increasingly critical challenges.
Raising our million dollar goal will ensure our movement is ready to meet the challenges of the future. It will enable us to make much-needed upgrades to our beloved machane, invest in training and retaining our incredible hadracha and staff team, and keep up with the rising costs of operating camp while ensuring that mosh remains financially accessible for all chanichimot.
Led by our Director, Jenny Isaacs, our leadership team of dedicated hadracha, staff, and board members are well-positioned to steward this significant investment. We stand on the shoulders of the generations who have come before us, and we aim to build an organization that will sustain the generations to come after us.
You are a part of our history. Will you be a part of our future?
Join us to ensure that Hashomer Hatzair Canada enters the next century from a place of both strength and courage - Chazak ve’Ematz!

It is more important than ever that young people be equipped with the experiences, skills, and communities they need to be agents of change. Hashomer Hatzair has been that platform for us, and we are excited to pave the way for the generations who will follow us."

All Together Now.
A Matching Grant for Jewish Camp.
The Harold Grinspoon Foundation has committed up to $10 million to participating Jewish overnight camps in North America affiliated through its JCamp180 program.
OVERVIEW:
We are extremely grateful to be able to participate in the “All Together Now” matching grant. As a participating camp, we are eligible to receive $1 from the Harold Grinspoon Foundation (HGF) for every $2 we raise until December 31, 2020 (1:2 match).
As a result of the cancellation of our in-person Mosh Kayitz 2020, families may convert a portion or all of their pre-paid deposits and tuition into a charitable donation to Camp Shomria for a dollar to dollar match (1:1 match). All funds donated through this incentive will be directed toward relief for COVID-19 uninsured losses.
All donations will be issued a Canadian charitable tax receipt.
