A strong civic sense and consequent participation are building blocks leading-up to a developed society.
For individuals, civic engagement leading to greater participation means an enhanced understanding of the issues impacting the society and avenues through which they can become part of various solutions. At the societal level, citizens’ volunteerism reaps such rewards as better governance and greater tolerance.
Our Programs
As part of its efforts to promote a sense of volunteerism and greater civic participation among young people PYCA runs capacity building programs for young people through-out the year.
These programs range from workshops aimed at creating greater tolerance to countering hate on digital platforms and from developing e-solutions for better governance to creating social entrepreneurs.
A regular feature of PYCA’s work deals with either providing platforms or technically and financially supporting trained alumni to create their own platforms through which they can exercise their newly acquired skills.
Our Impact
Since 2013, PYCA has technically and financially supported over 1000 university youth to implement seed grants or make use of platforms created by PYCA to create greater tolerance in the society, increase youth’s participation through alternate media, and to bridge the gap between young people and the government through e-solutions.
