Who we are
YouthInvest Foundation (YouthInvest) is an Indian not-for-profit organisation with a mission to empower children and young people in reaching their full potential and leading productive lives.
YouthInvest envisions healthy, educated, emotionally well-adjusted, and skilled adolescents and youth, especially from marginalised and disadvantaged populations, entering adulthood.
Domains of work
Health, nutrition and well-being of mothers, children and adolescents
We work across rural communities and urban slums to improve the health, nutrition, and overall well-being of children and young people — tackling malnutrition and anaemia, strengthening reproductive and sexual health, and promoting healthy lifestyles and safe water and sanitation practices.
Education and skills training for adolescents and youths
We work to increase access to foundational and secondary education and job-readiness skills for underprivileged adolescents and youth — leading to higher education, better job prospects, improved life choices, and, for girls, protection from child marriage.
Youth leadership and life skills development
We work in schools and communities to build confidence, agency, resilience, and leadership skills among young people, resulting in stronger self-esteem and social-emotional skills, greater awareness of gender-egalitarian values and rights, and increased access to services and opportunities.
Where we work
We currently work in West Bengal, Assam and Jharkhand.
