About Us

YouVAH is a non-governmental organization (NGO) based in Himachal Pradesh, India. Its name stands for ‘Youth for Voluntary Action in Himachal’ and it is registered under the provisions of Himachal Pradesh, 2006 (Act No. 25 of 2006) having registration ID ‘HPCD-8391’. YouVAH is constituted by the present and passed out NSS Volunteers from Different Colleges of Himachal Pradesh who came together during the lockdown in 2020 to run a campaign named Mission Digital CoroAware. After this successful mission, they decided to form an organization where all the volunteers from different colleges could work together for social upliftment on a common platform.
The mission of YouVAH is to engage the youth in community services and provide a platform for their personality and skill development. 

Their objectives include working for the development of youth, encouraging a sense of volunteerism, collaborating with different organizations for social welfare activities, promoting Himachali culture and heritage, sensitizing the public towards various issues, spreading awareness against social evils, and working for tribal rights, global peace, universal brotherhood, and national integration.
Currently, this NGO is running two main missions on a mass level: ‘Mission Saksham,’ which motivates people to be organ donors, and ‘Mission Gyanodaya,’ which collects old books and donates them to libraries and needy students. Under these missions, YouVAH’s volunteers also provide free tuition classes to the children of slums. YouVAH aims to channelize the energy of youth in the right direction to make society better and make themselves better in every aspect.
