Community Connect

Community Connect - nurtures active citizenship in young leaders to inspire civic action.

Community Connect encourages youth to initiate social (civic) change by taking them through a step by step journey. This involves building awareness, increasing knowledge and empowering them with skills and leadership tools to take action.

These empowered youth play the role of bridging the gap between the community and urban local bodies to build collaborative governance systems. Thereby inspiring the youth onto a long term social change journey.

There are 3 programs under this vertical:

1. The Community Connect Fellowship (CCF) – is a leadership program building active citizenship in youth by solving local civic issues and skill based sessions.
2. Community Connect Challenge (CCC) is a short-duration action-oriented program to build civic understanding and encourage leadership in youth.
3. Community Connect Act-a-thon is a marathon activity to help citizens learn about different civic aspects, such as knowing your neighbourhood, governance system, complaint filing, in a few hours.
