Lead the Change begins with a 8 week program which takes 40 passionate individuals on a rigorous journey to explore themselves inside-out, to internalise the challenges of the country through hands-on exposure. They hone their leadership skills by learning from role models and experts in the social development domain and employ design thinking to undertake a time bound social action.There is a strong focus on deep self-awareness and starting the process from within. Beyond the program, we help participants build their social enterprise by connecting them with mentors and helping them build a team.

2. Philosophy of Change
As the 21st century India continues to grapple with myriad issues, we believe that a
generation of young leaders is required to tackle these problems .We also believe if we can
create young role models across the country who will lead by example and act as multipliers,
this movement shall sustain itself. We work as a catalyst and facilitate passionate young
individuals nurture the leader within them while providing them exposure, a closely
connected network and mentoring.

Journey of Lead The Change
http://youthallianceofindia.org/lead-the-change/
The journey of Lead The Change of the last one-and-a-half year has been one interesting tale to tell.
We are surrounded with stories from participants being able to communicate better with their families
to some of them negotiating to establish a student society in their colleges to them doing whatever it
takes to start an initiative. Witnessing youngsters taking adventurous expedition of self-transformation,
has only strengthened our belief in the potential of the young.
With every version the program has become more engaging and more focused on action. Our network
and understanding of the ecosystem is only growing with constant feedbacks from mentors,
participants and introspection. In short, this autumn LTC is going bigger, better and deeper.

‘जीवन क
े उतर चढ़ाव में स्वयं को प्रगततशील बनाए रखने में मैं हमेशा से कामयाब रहा,
पर सामाजजक चचंतन का मंच मुझसे अछ
ू ता रह गया था। यूथ अलायन्स क
े प्रोग्राम ने मुझे
समाज में बदलाव लाने की ददशा में काम करने क
े ललए ज़रूरी प्रेरणा दी और अत्यंत कम
समय में महत्वपूणण ववषयों की जानकारी लमलने क
े सामाजजक संस्थाओं क
े दरवाज़े मेरे ललए
खुल गये।’
‘
Prahlad went on to join Goonj full-time and as also initiated a learning center in
his native village of Gobarsingha in Raigarh district, Chhattisgarh.
‘LTC opened a host of opportunities in social space which included various
fellowships. I wasn't restricted to a particular stream and it's expertise but was
exposed to the realities of education, women empowerment, skill development, etc. &
got to witness some of the brilliant organizations, met people who created them and
developed a bond with such monumental people in the social space. Youth Alliance in
many ways have contributed in developing a vision to understand and thereafter
acknowledge the realm of social space, exploring the space and in turn, myself.’
Divas joined Youth Alliance core team later and is now a Gandhi fellow.

Subhash Pachar, LTC-Spring 2012
‘Youth Alliance is not just a platform, its the ground which nourishes the seeds of self
transformation, helping one to grow. One of the best programs I have come across
where the youth gets involved and takes a closer, hands-on experience of working
closer to social issues and at grass root level, starting from self.’
Hardeep has been working with Ericson. Post Lead the Change, he is highly
involved in the Awakin community in Delhi.
‘मैं खुद एक गााँव से हूाँ पर Lead the Change ने मुझे एक नया नजररया
ददया। पहले मैं गााँव की समस्याओं क
े ललए सरकार, समाज आदद को दोषी मानता था,
अब मैं जज़म्मेदारी उठाकर समाधान की तरफ बढता हूाँ। पहले कॉलेज स्तर पर मैं लसफ
ण
volunteer करता था, पर यूथ अलायन्स से जुड़ने क
े बाद मैं खुद में एक leader देखता हूाँ।’
