Founded in 1998, the mission of Youthreach is to create programs that make it possible for young professionals (students, business people, lawyers, and others) to contribute their time, energy, and skills to improve the effectiveness, scale, and sustainability of nongovernmental organizations in Delhi. While youth issues are one of its primary focuses, Youthreach also targets its energies and resources on AIDS prevention and the environment. To address the needs of street and slum children, Youthreach partners with 15 organizations that are involved with education, health, nutrition, and vocational training.
