The Youth should come out of their hiding and take up the task of building a new nation. They should work towards a corruption-less, classless, casteless society where hard work will be rewarded and everyone can attain their dreams if they put their mind to it. The youth should learn the issues around them, gain the courage to speak up, learn the tools to present their ideas and solutions vocally and verbally. They should create an environment where they can get help from others and they can help others in need. This kind of “open” environment will become incubators for great ideas and innovations.

Navabharath Foundation’s youth empowerment initiatives are focused on:

• Improving leadership skills among youth to enable them to gather ideas and resources from various avenues and to use those resources effectively to solve problems facing their communities;
• Cultivating entrepreneurship among youth so that they will become job givers instead of job seekers;
• Promoting social responsibility for giving back to the community and to be active participants in community development.

Navabharath Foundation’s MentorIndia initiative focuses on developing problem solving skills, teamwork, leadership, entrepreneurship and social responsibility among youth. You can read more about this initiative at www.mentorindia.org and become a mentor yourself.
