CORE PROGRAMS
IT MOBILISES YOUNG VOLUNTEERS FROM BOTH RURAL AND URBAN SCHOOLS TO PLANT NATIVE TREES, ESPECIALLY IN CLIMATE-VULNERABLE ZONES LIKE FLOOD-PRONE VILLAGES OR URBAN HEAT ISLANDS. STUDENTS CO-LEAD MAPPING, COMMUNITY OUTREACH, AND MONITORING PLANT SURVIVAL RATES
IT IS INSPIRED BY EXPERIENCES OF WATER SCARCITY. STUDENTS WALK SYMBOLIC 2–3 KM CARRYING POTS, MIMICKING THE DAILY STRUGGLE OF RURAL FAMILIES. EACH WALK ENDS IN A STORYTELLING CIRCLE WHERE YOUTH SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCES AND ELDERS SHARE PERSPECTIVES
YOUTH FOR VASUDHAIV (COMING SOON)
IT IS A PENPAL + PROJECT EXCHANGE PROGRAM THAT CONNECTS CITY-BASED STUDENT ENVIRONMENTALISTS WITH RURAL SCHOOLS. EACH PAIR DISCUSSES A SHARED ECO-TOPIC, LIKE PLASTIC POLLUTION OR BIODIVERSITY, AND COLLABORATES ON PROJECTS, LIKE POSTERS, GARDENS, AND ORAL HISTORIES
IT IS A LIVING LIBRARY OF ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE RESOURCES—TAILORED FOR STUDENTS, TEACHERS, AND COMMUNITIES. EACH TOOLKIT IS DESIGNED WITH ILLUSTRATIONS, REAL-WORLD PROBLEMS, AND ACTION STEPS. CREATED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH NITIPATH’S UDAAN CIVIC ARM
YOUTH FOR VASUDHAIV IS A ONE-YEAR MICRO-FELLOWSHIP THAT SUPPORTS 15–20 SELECTED STUDENTS PER YEAR IN DESIGNING AND LEADING THEIR OWN COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY PROJECTS. EACH FELLOW IS MENTORED BY A NITIPATH GUIDE AND JOINS MONTHLY TRAINING SESSIONS
IT COLLECTS STORIES FROM ELDERS, FARMERS, AND STUDENTS ABOUT LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE. THESE ARE DOCUMENTED AS PHOTO ESSAYS OR BLOG ENTRIES
OUR ACTIVITIES BLEND STORYTELLING, PLANTING, WALKS, AND RURAL‑URBAN PARTNERSHIPS — TURNING ENVIRONMENTAL LEARNING INTO LOCAL ACTION, REFLECTION, AND YOUTH‑LED CHANGE. EACH PROGRAM MAKES SUSTAINABILITY FEEL PERSONAL, CREATIVE, AND ROOTED IN COMMUNITY
