Since the inception of the SEWA movement, community leadership has played an important role in bringing the concerns and needs of communities to the forefront. In the same spirit, SEWA Delhi Trust’s Youth Development Programme focuses on nurturing young people as confident, aware and active contributors to their communities.

The programme creates opportunities for young people to develop leadership, teamwork and communication skills while building awareness around gender, mental health, career planning and community issues. Through skill-based training, exposure visits, competitions and community initiatives, young people are encouraged to explore their potential and take collective action on issues that matter to their communities. The programme also supports young people in developing leadership skills and taking on active roles in driving positive change within their communities.
