About TYCL

Trust for Youth and Child Leadership (TYCL) is a youth-led non-profit organization started and run by college students from Puducherry and Tamil Nadu. Its aim is to bring positive change in youth, children and their community through safe, inclusive, participative and innovative leadership models. TYCL creates safe and engaging spaces for young people and their allies to develop their whole selves (emotional, mental, spiritual, social, physical, etc.), focusing on four aspects of development:

• Addressing local and global community issues
• Recognizing and cultivating personal and collective power
• Building relationship and mentorship without borders
• Accessing the tools necessary to transform their own lives in the community and in collaboration with others
