TYCL launches mobile app connecting youth with mentors to achieve life goals, promoting leadership and social justice.
The Trust for Youth and Child Leadership (TYCL) has rolled out a mobile app to help youth realise their life goals by connecting them with a panel of mentors.
District Collector A. Kulothungan launched the app under the ‘NKaNa’ (My Dream; My Brother and My Sister) project, at the ‘Harvesting Youth Leaders 2025’, a two-day perspective building workshop hosted recently by TYCL, in association with the Pondicherry Heritage Ladies Circle 187.
The ‘NKaNa’ project aims to provide mentorship for children in the age group of 12 to 17 years by connecting them directly with goal-based professionals to help them realise their aspirations, said TYCL, a youth-led non-profit organisation with ‘Special Consultative Status’ with the Economic and Social Council, United Nations since 2018.
Jayapriya, District Child Protection Officer, Department of Women and Child Development, and Sheetal.K, president, Sahodaran Community Oriented Health Development (SCOHD) Society were guests at the launch ceremony.
Meanwhile, the workshop based on the theme, ‘Reframing Youth for Equity,’ was aimed at inculcating leadership qualities in the youth by creating discussion on gender identity and social justice for emerging leaders, gender sensitive communication in social settings, privacy and boundaries in social relationships, modern media and family culture and communication on gender, human rights and social justice.
TYCL leaders Diwakar, A. Vaishali and Seleen Roy led the sessions. More than 50 participants in the age group of 18 to 30 years attended the event.
