YUVA (YOUTH UNITED FOR VOLUNTARY ACTION) started in the year 2008 as an action-oriented initiative to equip the youth in underserved communities with the tools needed to thrive in the 21st century. YUVA was a formalization of the vision of multifaceted individuals from different educational backgrounds and diverse fields viz theatre, filmmaking, development sector, corporate, law, digital media, pedagogy, designers, etc., who were passionate about working with the neglected and disadvantaged youth population of India.
As the name suggests, YUVA is yuva, and ACTION is action. Our essence is to create and nurture youth from privileged and underprivileged communities in a holistic, engaging, and participatory manner to take action on social change through digital mediums incorporating creative mediums, providing valuable information and innovative mythologies aimed to enhance their ability to influence change and empower the community to improve their socio-economic conditions.
