Programs

    The Yuva Engage Programme aims to help individuals, NGOs or groups working on social causes to amplify their impact. It offers inclusive mentorship be it direction or strategy wise and supports the entity, guiding it along its journey for social good. It offers “Aarambh”, “Sthir” and “Saksham” supports based on the time the entity has spent in the social space. Currently, all its services are free of cost.

  • Rural Mobile Camps Programme

    State

    To enable vocational training to reach youth in rural and remote areas, the organisation sets up mobile camps with help from the local Government and village administration. These camps provide short-term training in trades like beauticians, wiremen and para-nursing. It paves the way for local youth to set up their own businesses and create a future for themselves.

  • Counselling Programme

    State

    The organisation provides counselling services for school dropouts. It recognises that such youth have low self-esteem, thus it has developed “Soch Ka Parivartan” which talks about 12 important behaviours to get youth placed in jobs and also succeed in retaining them. The modules are all in video format making them easy to understand. Additionally, financial and digital literacy are also imparted to the youth.

  • Prison Project

    District

    State

    It also empowers first-time offenders lodged in jails with vocational training. These disadvantaged youth are not accepted in society and find it easy to resort to crime once again on release. The organisation conducts skilling programmes for these inmates to encourage them to turn to productive professions once they are ready to be released from the prisons.

  • Integrated Rural Development Programme

    District

    State

    It works in the agriculture space to conduct training for farmers in improved agricultural approaches, water and livestock management.

This leads to the rural community reducing their dependency on the rains and turning towards communal prosperity.
