Empower the youth
Harbinger of change is the youth. We all are entrusted to engage with the young and bring about positive change. The more we engage with the youth, the higher is the energy quotient to empower them.
There is no dearth of stories to enlighten us, leaders all over the world are using youth power to achieve their goals. It is imperative for them to honour their commitment to make the world a better place for the young, good education must empower the young to care for the community, enjoy the nature and be fit to lead. There is thus the pressing need to equip and reward the young with their rightful due.
Let us all make youth empowerment our only goal, for a great today and an even better tomorrow.

Fun the key to learning
In our penchant for structure and uniform delivery, we adults often miss out the fun element in learning. To keep youth engaged the key is to ensure that they have a rollicking time and are challenged to perform. There is the pressing need for adults to mentor with the most positive attitude.
Outward bound experiences help the young learn more effectively; nature's classroom offers real time learning, be it chemistry, geography, physics, biology...look out and we will find we live it all in our daily lives. Today, the educational process and many curriculum use open learning and experiential methods to deliver the needs of school or college education. There is the pressing need for adults to find that spark which will ignite the mind of their pupil. Once we find this learning becomes fun.
When we shoot a soccer ball; mathematics, physics, kinesthetic...and many more subjects and physical principles are exhibited. An adult needs to find the use of theoretical knowledge in everyday life and then only The young will find the need for knowledge and the education process more appropriate for daily living.
Out serving the community; life skills of other communities and understanding the needs of others makes education more meaningful. When we interact with different communities we not only become better human beings, but are exposed to history and practices refined over thousands of years. This itself makes learning more enjoyable.
Follow your heart, make the most of the skills you imbibe and have fun!

Learning from youth
All lessons are for the youth and from the youth! The energy of life is the true youth, and this is what keeps us all young. The only way to make a better world is to effectively engage youth, and provide them the best possible mentoring to learn and lead a life of fun and adventure.
We are working for a better world and youth is the true innovation that will make this happen. It is imperative to enable the young to live in harmony with nature and to create a positive community environment. As adults we need to learn what the true needs of the young are, this will not enable us to fulfill our role as mentors but enhance our skills and further strengthen the system to bring about positive change.
Young adults are the leaders of change, and the Award Programme enables positive action. There is no pecuniary reward at the end of the learning rainbow, and there is no end for learning. We all have to partner and motivate the young to lead us.

Building passionate communities
India has a very strong family support system and we are inherently a very compassionate and caring community. All are welcome has been the main stay and more the merrier has been the spirit! The quest for a better life and the consumer culture spawned by the economic boom, is creating new challenges for communities and society. As we move away from our family, our community, our city and head for the fruits of economic boom and globalization, the youth too face many challenges.
Away from home town, in a new metropolis and maybe a new country, the young person is often at sea, and find it hard to lead a zestful life. The stress and challenges of long work hours, the constant connectivity and the need to out smart our peers, all make life a big challenge. To help our young and emerging leaders, there is need for us to offer an environment to enable the youth live their passion. Be it sports, skills, service to the community or even the outward bound activities; the best way to help young people overcome the challenges of life is to support them to be passionate about what they do, and help each individual find her or his own true self.
Youth and passion are a crucible for change, any change in the world be it positive or even negative cannot happen without youth action. The revolutions, economic or even military might all taps on the energy of the youth. The inherent spirit to fathom the unknown is there in the young, and adults must be the mentors to encourage the youth to bring about positive action. The academic system and the work environment is inherently made of marks and measures, and often does not deliver a good quality of life. There is the need to encourage the young to follow their passion, get involved in their true quest and find the hidden talent. Today we see opportunity in sports, service, skills and outward bound activity as the way to help youth discover themselves. Young are today innovating to find new socially sustainable models to help community, they find working with outward bound agencies and building social networks with common interest most meaningful.
Human development is not about marks, and we need to offer the positive environment to help young lead a life full of passion, help them follow their heart and do what they find most meaningful. There are countless examples of young people who did not fare well in the marks system, but followed their passion and added phenomenal value in fields of social work, skills and inventions too. As we in India now find that innovation is the only answer to build a strong economy, it is even more imperative we let the youth follow their passion and we adults need to foster an open mind and work towards building new communities and groups to help youth overcome the challenges faced when they have to move out of the comfort zone and venture away from the family and community.
Let us all work to challenge young people everywhere and help them equip, empower and engage with society to build passionate communities.

Youth are the crucible for change
We all must appreciate the needs of the youth and empower them for a better future. Young leaders who are well equipped will create a better world. Let us work for youth engaging society in the most positive way.

Celebrating the spirit of youth!
The Award Programme Foundation (APF) is committed to engage, equip, empower and reward the youth in India. The International Award for Young People (IAYP) first introduced in India in the year 1962 in select public schools, today spans the full expanse of India and has near 400 operating units. The Award Programme has grown with the phenomenal contribution of the four Zones in India, being a pure Volunteer fueled, this is indeed creditable and affirms the able leadership of many individuals and school principals who have worked tirelessly to make this happen. We are sure to celebrate the 50 years of the Award in India, with much enthusiasm and great participation.
The Patron of the Award Shri Mohammad Hamid Ansari, the Honourable Vice President of India is very keen for the programme to reach out to youth from all sections of the Indian society. 2010 will be go down as a memorable year for us, as there is a renewed focus on the youth, and we look forward to addressing the needs of the young from 14 to 25, with active participation from all the stakeholders for for youth development - the Government, Corporates, Social Sector, the Schools and the Colleges. Mrs. Naina Lal Kidwai, the Chairperson of APF and an International Trustee is very enthusiastic and has been instrumental in setting in place the stage for the fun and excitement! The National Award Office has been set up in New Delhi and the Trustees are all working to build the IAYP Programme, to further the object of making this a Programme of choice for all young people. Mr. Analjit Singh, Mr. Anand Mahindra, Mr. Ishaat Hussain, Mrs. Mala Ramadorai and Dr. Sanat Kaul, the Trutees are all doing their bit to help make the Programme available to all.
The Trust has set up the national office in New Delhi and with support from friends and well wishers of IAYP India, have put in place a youthful team as well as the necessary infrastructure to further the aim to ‘equip for life’ half a million young people in India, between 2010 and 2013. With very good support from business and social sector, the Team is confident to further help grow the Award and make it all inclusive. The focus is not only to roll out the Programme to the private schools and colleges, but to welcome into the fold young people who are challenged for resources, through the Indian Special Projects initiative.
The Award must be available to all, with wide choice and with good quality delivery.
One very major initiative has been to set up six centres for training and development, known as YES Centres. The centres not only offer the Programme to the young people, but work to build resources to help wider participation from the community and and ensure quality delivery by innovating new ways to help preserve programme quality. The YES Centres are geographically well spread across India, and will prove a big asset to the Zones that operate from New Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai and Mumbai. These Centres will serve as pockets of excellence and help build the programme and extend the reach of the Award to the 18 - 25 ages as well as the Special Projects, like the Salam Balk Trust, Olcott Memorial School, Emanuel Ministries and many more in the years ahead.
Delhi University, HSBC India, Max India, WWF, RLSS and the British Council are lead partners of the Award, and are helping reach out to new areas and working to make the Award Programme a premier youth programme, for inclusive social growth, and Equip for life the young of India, as per the aims of the National Youth Policy.
