YOUTH FOR SEVA (YFS)

Youth for Seva (YFS) started in April 2007 as a platform to provide opportunities for youth who wanted to take active part in community development despite time constraints. Through this platform, YFS aims to empower youth to become positive change makers who will enable organizations and institutions to work without a vested interest. The goal of YFS is to support schools, NGOs, government hospitals and other organizations in the social sector through volunteers who can help them mitigate some of their shortcomings and challenges. Volunteering is made easy and customized to the individual’s interests and time constraints. Youth for Seva (YFS) is a project under Hindu Seva Pratishthana. There are several YFS chapters around the country and we look forward to making volunteering a movement. Vision: A self-reliant and happy society where there is harmony and the developmental needs are addressed locally through individuals who act without vested interest. Mission: To facilitate a movement of volunteering. To empower and enable individuals to become positive change agents in the society. To enable institutions to effectively engage community to deliver services. To create models to address developmental needs through the culture of volunteering. To promote sustainable lifestyles among individuals and strengthen the required social institutions to sustain communities.
