Here are some of the organizations and projects that we have supported or been involved in before. These activities have spurred the creation of Youth Caring For Kids to enable fundraising to support these efforts. We continue to help these organizations and their goals of supporting the education of children around the world. We are not partnered or endorsed by these organizations.

Young Leaders – Online Tutoring
With the COVID-19 pandemic causing normal school classes to move online to get through the academic year, my Young Leaders debate club started a free learning initiative where we paired high school students with elementary students who need help/guidance during this transition. This program provided extra one-on-one sessions and summer seminars for elementary students on topics in English/Science/Math.
SAMARPANA
Samarpana organization has established two residential centers in which children and adults from socially and weaker sections are admitted and they are provided with specialized services like Physiotherapy, Speech therapy, and Special education.
I was introduced to this organization by my grandfather who is a pediatrician and has been involved in volunteering at institutions. Through Youth Caring For Kids, we plan to support this organization.
