About
Ashoka's Youth Venture is a global movement that inspires, invests, and supports young people to lead social change. They invest in young people, from the age of 15 to 24, to design and lead their own initiatives that create social impact. In creating and launching their “Ventures,” as they form teams and work together, young people learn the important skills of leadership, teamwork, entrepreneurship and empathy. They also realize that they are powerful and will continue to take initiative and lead again and again throughout their lives.
