Youth Initiative announces Youth Initiative Awards 2007
With the strong belief that 'Young people are not just the tomorrow's leaders but are partners of today', Youth Initiative has been working to inform, empower and involve youth in their own personal development and that of their communities.
Youth Initiative recognizes young people as change makers and agents of social transformation and hence encourages them to take leadership to bring about positive changes in the societies they live in while growing to their fullest potential.
As part of its efforts to empower and involve young people, it will reward 5 young leaders with an award amounting Rs 10,000 each to help fund their leadership, entrepreneurial or social development project. The Award could focus on one of the following areas:
