Summary

Punjab Youth Leaders Program (PYLP) is a two-year full time leadership development program. It brings together individuals who have shown exceptional leadership potential. During these two years, the young leaders work towards improving the learning and governance in the government primary schools in Punjab. In the process, they grow by building their own leadership values and competencies. The aim of the program is to create a strong community of future leaders which is committed to transform Punjab into a land of Hope, Courage and Possibilities in the next 30 years.

Causes Working On

Based on the work done since July 2018, we have identified several issues faced by schools, local government officials and teachers in Punjab. These issues vary from decreasing enrollment and depleting learning levels to lack of trust in government schools and missing community participation. At PYLP, we believe that the solution to these problems is already available with the local stakeholders. Change can happen in a group learning process where participants who are equal stakeholders come together with the intention of learning and addressing the problems. As they identify and learn to solve their common challenges, they take responsibility for their actions and work together towards the collective vision.
