Youth Engagement
Youth Engagement: Youth comprise a huge part of our society and it is very important to engage young people and bring them into the mainstream of development initiatives to lend their support to various causes and make them feel part of the solution. Youth is the ideal stage for interventions to mold the young minds to challenge wrong beliefs; challenge unjust social norms and take deliberate actions for a violence-free balanced society.
