Local Leadership

Mahapach-Taghir is active in seven communities nation-wide. Each community is a neighborhood, or a street in a neighborhood, where a civic center operates together with the Learning Community. The Civic Center initiates various communal activities and co-ordinates activities within the neighborhood - both municipal and those of social organizations. Managed by the residents and students active in Mahapach-Taghir (and accompanied by Mahapach-Taghir's Community Coordinator), this civic body strives to involve more residents in its activities, and to coordinate between the particular skills and abilities of the residents and the particular needs of each community.

We at Mahapach-Taghir realize that both the Civic Center and the Learning Community are vital in transforming the neighborhood from merely buildings and streets into a community – an organic and united body that successfully conducts action in the neighborhood, develops local leadership for both youth and adults, and empowers the children, residents, and academic students.
