*About Ashoka's Youth Venture*

 Youth Venture is a global movement that inspires, invests, and supports
young people to lead social change.

We believe it is critical that people discover early on in their lives that
they can lead social change. We invest in young people to design and lead
their own initiatives that create social impact.

We do this through a one year fellowship, where we support them to create
entrepreneurial Ventures around a social issue they feel passionate about.
As they form teams and work together in creating and launching their
‘Ventures’, young people learn the important skills of leadership, teamwork,
entrepreneurship and empathy. They also realize that they are powerful and
will continue to take initiative and lead again and again throughout their
lives.

Established by Ashoka, the world’s leading association of social
entrepreneurs and the pioneer of the social entrepreneurship movement, Youth
Venture is nurturing young people’s dreams and providing them with
mentorship and seed capital to help them initiate change in their
communities.

 In the last 24 months, we have supported 70 young changemakers and their
teams, in Mumbai and Songadh (a district in Rural Gujarat). See the attached
