The pillars of Habonim Dror North America are:

Judaism
To strengthen the relationship between North American Jewish youth and Judaism through their involvement in progressive Jewish communities with the purposes of enlisting their participation in the upbuilding of a renewed Jewish culture, including pluralistic religious expression. This is accomplished by the development of individual Jewish identities by means of promoting the exploration of Jewish spirituality, the full expression of the Hebrew language, an understanding of Jewish history and a personal relationship with Israel.

Progressive Labor Zionism
To upbuild the State of Israel as a progressive, egalitarian, cooperative society, at peace with its neighbors; actively involved in a Peace Process with the Palestinian people with the common goal of a just and lasting peace; and as the physical and spiritual center of the Jewish people. To this end, Habonim Dror calls for Aliyah, particularly but not exclusively to communal and collective frameworks. HDNA also calls for active involvement in progressive Zionist and Jewish issues in communities outside of Israel.

Self-Actualization
To develop within its members the will to realize their own capabilities and a feeling of responsibility for themselves and their movement.

Social Justice
To participate in constructive activities in the North American Jewish community while advocating changes where necessary to foster Jewish continuity and creativity and the democratization of the community.

Socialism
To participate in the creation of a new social order throughout the world, based on the principles of self-determination, individual freedom, political democracy, and cooperative economics, the equality of all people and the equality of human value.
