Challenge and support Thai youth to start a project/business to tackle social problems. Learn to YV Thailand is building a movement of young changemakers now.
Thailand has been struggling with economic and political instabilities throughout the decades. Strengthening the public sector and increasing civic participation has therefore become a crucial part for the creation of a stable future. YV in Thailand will support young people to generate solutions to social problems, by helping them lead and launch their own venture. We are gradually contributing to change the negative image that society has of young people.
YV supports youth by helping them address social issues in their communities. Youth form teams and create sustainable action plans that must be approved by a panel. Then, they receive seed money and technical support to launch their Venture Team.
YV is dramatically increasing the proportion of changemakers in the world by reaching youth and providing them the opportunity to see their own potential, develop skills thus, creating an everyone a chagemaker world.
The critical factor for success of any human grouping - be it a company or a country - will be the proportion of changemakers it has to develop new ideas, take initiative and lead.”
- Bill Drayton, Founder and CEO of Ashoka and Youth Venture
