2. Selection of Events: Youthink creates events
meant to empower youth by developing
leadership skills and positively impact the
society.
Helping Hand: A lot of people want to
positively impact the society, but they lack the
platform where in they can share their ideas
or ask for the support. Youthink motivates
and inspires tomorrow’s leaders by providing
the required resources. These resources
enables youth to follow their passion and
change the society.
VISION
Provide a platform and resources useful for creating social leaders
4. Uniqueness: Every small/big event organized byYouthink has one Super Coordinator, who
handles, manages and allocates responsibility to other leaders (our members are called
leaders) who acts as supportive agents.
This is how we try to incorporate the leadership and managerial skills, realizing his/her
potential ability.
