Who We Are

SRADHA is a dynamic, youth-led agency in India, catalyzing change across South and Southeast Asia. With a strong network of over 2,000 youth volunteers across 28 states, we harness the energy, creativity, and passion of young people (18–35 years) to advance peace, inclusion, and sustainable development.

We empower young changemakers to become ambassadors of peace, gender equality, and responsible citizenship, ensuring their voices shape communities, policies, and futures.

Who We Are

SRADHA is governed and driven entirely by youth. Our eight-member governing body (aged 18–35) ensures equal representation of men and women. With 2,000+ volunteers—half of whom are young women—we represent India’s diversity of cultures, languages, and regions.

Our youth leaders act as community change agents:

• Resolving local conflicts
• Reducing violence
• Promoting gender equality
• Addressing challenges of multiculturalism and inclusion

Together, we are building communities of peace, tolerance, and shared progress.
