Youth Initiative for Empowering Leadership and Development (YIELD) programme is a youth initiative aimed at empowering marginalized youths from different slums in Delhi. The goal of this project is to facilitate young people to reclaim their own locus of control and also work with other stakeholders to ensure that they are viewed as change agents with a critical stake in self, society and nation building.
