Youth Clubs
Jeeva Jyothi has vast experience in extending services to street and working children, rag pickers, child labourers in rice mills and brick kilns and the Tsunami victims. However, as the children became youths, the organization recognized there was an underlying service gap, and it moved to fill it. Thus Jeeva Jyothi’s Youth Development Clubs came into existence. The clubs are comprised of 15 - 20 youth (of both genders) who organize informally to work on village development projects. They promote life skills and job training, health and HIV/AIDS awareness programs, and similar activities. Jeeva Jyothi mentors the YDC members and helps them get needed training. The elected members from the YDCs will be sent to represent the Youth Federation and the elected members will be officiating as office bearers of Youth Movement, the ultimate body of positive youth development. The process of shaping youth into a movement is on the way.
