The YP Foundation is hiring!
WHO ARE WE?
‘We’, are an eclectic and passionate group of young people who collectively run The YP Foundation (TYPF), a youth led and run organization that supports and enables young people to create programmes and influence policies in the areas of gender, sexuality, health, education, the arts & governance. The organization promotes, protects and advances young people’s human rights by building leadership, and strengthening youth led initiatives and movements. Founded in 2002, we have worked over the last 8 years directly with 5,000 young people to set up over 200 projects in India, reaching out to 300,000 young people.
What does it mean to be ‘youth led and run’?
It means that young people design, execute, lead and implement all the processes and systems that involve their peers in creating social change and addressing Human Rights. Our staff is a team of 12 young people (largely between 20 – 26) who work both part time and full time, with an active volunteer base of over 200 young people each year. Click here to read more.

What would TYPF’s Epitaph read like?
This is what our board member, Vidyun Sabhaney had to say…
TYPF was an organization unafraid of change – within itself, and the world around it. It understood ‘change’ in a way that was revolutionary, truly unique to the young person of the 21st century – the era of hustle and bustle, loneliness, terror, fear, forgetfulness, and the individual. Through this definition and understanding of change it enabled literally thousands of young people in India to challenge systems through substance, and create alternatives which work.
It encouraged an entire generation to work with people and their context, not despite them/ it made thousands of young people aware and active in civil society. It sought justice for the un-empowered productively, without political motive, it rarely made the same mistake twice and bore good-will even to those it disagreed with. With its passing we mourn the loss of an organization that understood not everyone finds Wonderland (and when they do, it’s rarely just a tea party), but if you ventured a step behind the Looking Glass, perhaps you’d end up an Alice anyway…
