ABOUT PRAVAH

At Pravah ( we support young people bring about the positive change they wish to see – in their own selves and the society around them.

When we started out 20 years ago (Pravah was registered in 1993), that is what we committed to bring about – a society where young people are active citizens – addressing issues of social justice the way they are most inspired to. The founders were all young professionals themselves then – from the corporate, management and development fields. They are still as active in keeping that vision alive.

Today our work has a diverse range – working with adolescents on issues of social justice and conflict transformation, facilitating college students to build their understanding of local and global issues, supporting young people to start their own social initiatives or organisations, building capacities of other organizations through organizational development and programmatic support. We are also engaged in influencing public policy in the field of youth. Our core competence lies in designing and facilitating creative and impactful experiential learning initiatives for the diverse groups we engage with, in order to create a just society – a society built on values of non-violence, love, diversity, interdependence, collaboration and sustainable development. That, besides making a case for youth development in India.

We do not believe in working in isolation. We engage with over 50 partners all over the country to achieve our goal, as well as with national and international resource organizations, such as The Ford Foundation, Sir Rattan Tata Trust, Misereor, Global Fund for Children and Voluntary Service Overseas, who support us.

So when you work (we prefer to call it ‘walk’ with us), you actually work with many others - young people, teachers, other organizations and the larger civil society – all from as diverse worlds as you can imagine.

In the current phase of our journey, we are looking for inspired and committed people with different levels of skills and experience to join us. Read on to know if it could be you!

Pravah is currently on a new curve of expansion – both in size and the scope of its interventions. To support it, a number of exciting opportunities have arisen for the engagement of inspired and committed people with diverse levels of skills and experience in Pravah.
