The YP Foundation is hiring!

The YP Foundation (TYPF) is a youth run and led 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, TYPF has worked directly with 5,000 young people to set up over 200 projects in India over the last 8 years, reaching out to 300,000 adolescents and young people between 3-28 years of age.

What does it mean to be ‘youth led and run’?

It means getting young people to design, execute, lead and implement all the processes and systems that involve creating social change. Our staff is a team of 21 young people (largely between 18 – 26) who work both part time and full time, with an active volunteer base of over 200 young people a year, across 6 programme divisions that work on the issues of Human Rights, Mental Health & Peer Pressure, Healthcare and Education for Street Children, Film and Literature, promoting Independent Music in India, Sexuality, Gender, HIV/AIDS, Governance and the Right to Information Act in India. We work both in English and Hindi.

TYPF works primarily in the National Capital Region (NCR) and works with youth led groups with partnerships at national, regional and international levels. We have collaborated with youth groups and young activists from 13 states across India, including Punjab, Haryana, Tamil Nadu, Bengal, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Kashmir, Nagaland, Gujarat and Bihar. TYPF has supported 250 slum and street children across two locations in New Delhi.

We believe in empowering young people’s access to information, services and rights such that they can build collective platforms to challenge and develop their leadership potential.
