About us
Established by four experienced development professionals with a common passion for health and education for children and adolescents in 2015, YouthInvest Foundation (YouthInvest) is an Indian not-for-profit organization with a mission to empower young people in reaching their full potential and lead productive lives.
YouthInvest has been implementing programmes since 2017 and envisions healthy, educated, emotionally well-adjusted and skilled adolescents and youth – especially from marginalised and disadvantaged populations – entering adulthood.
Mission
Empower young people in reaching their full potential and leading productive lives.
YouthInvest creates and facilitates opportunities that enable young people (10-29 years) to participate in activities that ensure their rights to health, education, and livelihoods. We use a lifecycle programming approach focused on critical life stages, i.e. childhood, adolescence, and youth, to ensure sustainable change.
Strategies
We have a three-pronged strategy focused on last mile uptake of critical interventions in health, education and skills development among most vulnerable young people.
- Develop, demonstrate, and scale innovations through strategic partnerships.
- Promote the use of technology in reaching the last mile.
- Provide advisory services in programme development, training and capacity building, research, and evaluation.
