There is a growing desire among the youth in India to volunteer their time and talent for community development. But most of them are not currently involved in volunteering work because of three major reasons:

1. Not knowing where to start.
2. The fear that it may be too much of responsibility.
3. Concern that it cannot be done with their limited time availability.

“Youth for Seva”(YFS) was formed in April 2007 to fill this gap so that youth with an intention to volunteer and with different time commitments can easily find meaningful opportunities to serve the community. 
The mission of YFS is to inspire youth to volunteer, connect them to the grass roots projects, and provide ongoing support and training to the volunteers and the NGOs.
Youth for Seva is a project of the ‘Hindu Seva Pratishthana.’(www.hinduseva.org), which has been in the forefront of social service for nearly three decades.
YFS is privileged to have many prominent people on its advisory board who have been guiding the youth and providing support.
YFS is also proud to have a very dedicated team of volunteers in the executive board .

The Chennai Chapter of YFS was inaugurated in March 2011 and currently there are around 40 active volunteers and growing.
