Our Story
Yuva Bengaluru Trust was founded on September 21 , 2008 by a small group youngsters with a strong passion to change society today and build a better India for tomorrow. An urge to do something more for the society got converted into an idea of starting an NGO in the mind of our founder, Mr. G Kiran Sagar who was inspired by APJ Abdul Kalam INDIA 2020 book.
The organisation provides youngsters a platform to serve the society and bridges the gap between the educated and the uneducated.
Our volunteers educate and mentor children from government schools, orphanages, slum and village community centres across the country to give them a better future, which will benefit them as well as our country. The learning experience is mutual – our volunteers gain perspective and the experience to mould themselves into tomorrow’s leaders.
Our Values

Yuva Bengaluru Trust has evolved with a clear theory of change – To transform the lives of less privileged children and youth by maximizing impact in the education sector.
We are committed to driving this change by focusing on the fundamentals –
-
upgrading basic infrastructure facilities in schools
-
providing access to modern means of teaching-learning, and
-
creating a more compassionate world around us.
Our model of action is based on inspiration. We inspire children to achieve greatness, pursue happiness, and become aware and conscious citizens. We rely on the strength of our volunteers and the power of youth to create a systematic and organic reaction to inflict positive change in society.
Among the various pitfalls that ail humankind – Hunger, Poverty, Gender Discrimination, Poor Health Facilities, Lack of Clean Water, Sanitation and Inequality in terms of quality education are the glaring ones. As part of our mission, we have a vision to target these lacunas and smoothen these trenches, thereby ensuring a level ground for the needy. In line with this, we have already embedded X out of 17 UN SDGs in our mission.
