MEDIA FOR SOCIAL CHANGE

FELLOWSHIP

SUPPORTED BY

India's inclusive development necessitates harnessing the

incredible power of our nation's youth. India faces

development challenges but inherent in these challenges

are opportunities for the youth to exercise their

creativity, develop solutions and make a difference. In

recent years, youth have raised their voice on the issues

of social concern but sustained engagement is needed.

The only way to achieve this is through mindset and

behavioural change where social responsibility becomes a

habit. It should not be a singular journey, but a vector with

both direction and speed.

YES FOUNDATION Media for Social Change Fellowship channelises the high octane,

positive energy of youth, across the length and breadth of the country to accelerate India's

social transformation. The Fellowship provides the youth an opportunity for sustained

engagement with social issues through regular capacity building trainings and structured

placement with credible NGO. This year over 3000 aspirants across 535 cities and towns

pan India applied for the coveted Fellowship positions. In subsequent years, we intend to

develop multitudes of socially conscious youth leaders for the country's social

transformation.

I express my sincere gratitude to the numerous individuals and organisations for joining

us in this journey of catalysing social change.
