We trust young people to lead climate action, to steward the commons and shape the governance that protects them.
Youth Organization for Green India (YOGI) is a youth-led organisation building active citizenship for climate action. We work through three pillars, youth, governance, and the commons, trusting young people with real responsibility to protect the shared world around them. From reviving village streams to transforming city schools, from field research to civic leadership, we help young people research, advocate, and act on the issues that shape their future.

In the tribal village of Gauryapada, a stream that fed the community's wells had choked with silt, and the wells were running dry. This year, YOGI worked alongside the villagers to bring it back to life, over a thousand cubic metres of silt cleared, and it was the community itself that carried the work. This is what we mean by the commons.
Thirty girls of Class 8 in Chavalkheda began the year hesitant to speak even in class. They ended it standing before sixty community leaders, presenting a climate manifesto they had written themselves. Girls Climate Parliament is where young women discover that the future of their world is theirs to argue for.
