Empowering Students for Positive Change: The Y4K Initiative

Our project Y4K (Youth for Kids) plays an indispensable role in the domain of educational institutions. It functions as a platform that empowers students, enabling them to actively participate in and bring about a positive change in the lives of orphaned and vulnerable children. Beyond the realm of volunteerism, the Y4K experience represents a transformative journey wherein students acquire essential life skills such as leadership, teamwork, and an enhanced sense of social responsibility. What’s even more significant is that it fosters personal growth, nurtures empathy, and widens one’s perspective on global issues. All these elements converge to create a potent force, leaving an enduring, favorable impact on the lives of children who are most in need of assistance.

Y4K is not just an initiative; it is an opportunity to turn passion into tangible action. Designed by the Love Without Boundaries (LWB) India Chapter, Y4K specifically targets college students who are eager to channel their compassion into reality. College years are often marked by an incredible zeal to contribute to the betterment of vulnerable communities. Recognizing this potential, LWB is proactively reaching out to esteemed colleges across West Bengal.

This year we have Kolkata’s Bangabasi Morning College students as our Y4K volunteers who have taken part in many of our initiatives like the food relief program, cleft surgery program, monthly yoga giving sessions for almost one year and also spreading awareness via performing street plays or Nukkad Nataks.  Secondly, our Youth For Kids Project initiated with a seminar held at Presidency College for the first time. We talked about the project, the role of the volunteers in the community, and the positive impact that will be received by both the volunteers and the community members. Recently, Bethune College served as an exemplary case study of this partnership. During an interactive session, students from Bethune College not only demonstrated their passion for social work but also expressed a sincere interest in the Youth For Kids (Y4K) program. This orientation session was a transformative experience, as students shared their aspirations to work directly with vulnerable communities. Their enthusiasm was profound. As a result, Bethune College is now poised to launch its very own Y4K college chapter. This endeavor will be facilitated by dedicated college mentors and the support of the LWB team.
