ASHOKA - YOUTH VENTURE
Ashoka Youth Venture identifies and supports teenagers who have started their own initiatives for addressing social and environmental problems. Becoming an Ashoka Youth Venturer is a recognition for you and your work. The selected Youth Venturers are inducted into a global community and gain access to workshops, strategic mentorship, fundraising support, media partnerships, exposure visits and more opportunities to grow themselves and their initiatives. Youth Venture is both an award and a fellowship. After being inducted you join Ashoka for quarter-yearly workshops of 3-4 days in the first year of induction. You will be connected with a mentor who will guide you in the first year. Your engagements with your mentor are custom designed to suit the needs of your individual changemaker journey. You will get opportunities to participate in many speaking platforms and exposure events. All engagements work in tandem with your school/university schedules.
