ABOUT PRAVAH
At Pravah (www.pravah.org) we support young people bring about the positive change they wish to see in their own selves and the society around them.
When we started out 15 years ago (Pravah was registered in 1993), that is what we committed to bring about a society where young people are active citizens addressing issues of social justice the way they are most inspired to. The founders were all young professionals themselves then from the corporate, management and development fields. They are still as active in keeping that vision alive.
Today our work has a diverse range working with adolescents on issues of social justice and conflict transformation, facilitating college students to build their understanding of local and global issues, supporting young people to start their own social initiatives or organisations, building capacities of other organizations through organizational development and programmatic support. We are also engaged in influencing public policy in the field of youth. Our core competence lies in designing and facilitating creative and impactful experiential learning initiatives for the diverse groups we engage with, in order to create a just society a society built on values of non-violence, love, diversity, interdependence, collaboration and sustainable development. That, besides making a case for youth development in India.
We are looking for Associate coordinators in SMILE, Adolescent Intervention, Change Looms and Partner Cell
SMILE
SMILE offers young people various opportunities to engage with issues of social justice through experiential learning methodologies and creative media. It facilitates a journey of personal transformation for young people and develops their skills to explore, understand and influence change in society on issues they are passionate about. We do this through interactive workshops, hands on exposure to urban and rural social realities through camps (within and outside Delhi) as well as interventions that enhance young peoples skills to impact social change.
Adolescent Intervention
Our Adolescent intervention, aims to build leadership for social change among adolescents through lifeskills and active citizenship education. . We facilitate adolescents to look beyond themselves and fulfil roles as socially responsible citizens through various curriculum. From Me to We builds life skills in adolescents, facilitates them to deal with conflicts positively, and equips them with the skills to become active citizens. Friendship Udankhatola (FUN) Camp takes urban adolescents to live with a village community for a week. Here, the adolescents interact with the communities and gain exposure to local development issues while they break stereotypes and learn to appreciate diversity.
Change Looms
Change Looms is a programme that supports those young people (18-27) and teams who have set up and are running independent initiatives and projects for social change. Through the Change Looms programme we offer training and skill building on personal and organisational development to these young people. We also provide mentoring support, opportunity to network with other young changemakers and social sector leaders.
Partner Cell

Our areas of support to partner organizations (youth-led or otherwise) include program development, instructional design, facilitation and delivery. We also offer our experience in organizational development of youth organisation in areas such as human resource, strategic planning, organisational culture building etc.
