Youth Invokes - About Us

Youth Invokes, formerly known as YouthInk, is a vibrant and forward-thinking organization dedicated to the empowerment, welfare, and enlightenment of young individuals. Established in 2021 by the visionary founder Mr. Aniruddha Choudhary supported majorly by Mr. Durgesh Kapkar alongwith Mr. Gaurav Kinholkar, Mr. Himanshu Bambal, Mr. Siddhesh Shahu, Mr. Tejas Gaiki, Miss Roma Sawarkar, Miss Archita Meshram. YouthInk was born out of a deep belief that the youth are not merely the leaders of tomorrow but the dynamic force driving positive change today. From its inception, the organization has been committed to creating a platform where young voices are not just heard but amplified, enabling them to lead the charge in shaping a better future for themselves and their communities.

In August 2024, recognizing the need to align the organization's identity with its evolving mission and broader vision, YouthInk underwent a strategic rebranding to become Youth Invokes. This transformation was more than just a change in name; it was a reflection of our growing commitment to fostering a more inclusive, diverse, and impactful environment for youth engagement. The name Youth Invokes encapsulates our core mission: to inspire and empower young people to rise, lead, and invoke meaningful change within their communities and beyond.

The decision to rebrand was driven by our realization that the organization had outgrown its original scope. The new name, Youth Invokes, better represents our ambition to be a catalyst for youth-driven change, providing a platform that not only supports but actively encourages young individuals to take the reins of leadership and become the architects of their own destinies. This rebranding also marked a significant milestone in our journey, symbolizing a renewed commitment to our mission and the communities we serve.

As Youth Invokes continues to grow and evolve, we remain steadfast in our commitment to our original mission while embracing new opportunities to expand our impact. We are proud of our journey and the rebranding that symbolizes our readiness to meet the challenges of the future head-on. Youth Invokes is more than just a name; it is a call to action, a rallying cry for young people everywhere to step up, take action, and lead the way in creating a world where their voices are not just heard but are the driving force behind lasting change.

Our Journey

Aashiyaan 2022 : A World of Unheard Voices

Our journey began with "Aashiyaan: A World of Unheard Voices," our inaugural event held on May 26, 2022. This event was a testament to our commitment to providing a platform for young talent. We invited participants to showcase their skills in singing, poetry, skits, and stand-up comedy, with no language barriers to restrict creativity. The event featured over 30 performers and attracted an audience of more than 200 people. The success of Aashiyaan not only highlighted the immense talent within our community but also reinforced the importance of creating spaces where young voices can be heard and celebrated.

Pathfinder: V1.0 - What Next?

Recognizing the need for career guidance among young people, we organized "Pathfinder: What Next?"—an event designed to help participants navigate the complexities of career planning. The event featured talks from seniors and professionals across various domains who shared their success stories and provided practical advice on preparing for placements and choosing the right career path. This event was particularly impactful, as it provided attendees with the knowledge and inspiration needed to take control of their futures.

World Ozone Day 2022

In line with our commitment to environmental sustainability, we commemorated World Ozone Day on September 16, 2022, by organizing a creative campaign that invited our members to submit poetry, videos, photos, and articles focused on the theme of environmental protection. The response was overwhelmingly positive, with 15 submissions that were shared across our official social media channels. This event underscored the role of youth in addressing global challenges and demonstrated our belief that creativity and activism go hand in hand.

National Youth Day: Honoring Swami Vivekananda's Legacy

National Youth Day, celebrated in honor of Swami Vivekananda, has always been a cornerstone of our organization's activities. In 2022, we organized a series of events that emphasized the power of youth leadership and the importance of self-discovery. These events were designed to resonate with the values and aspirations of young people, encouraging them to embrace their potential and lead with confidence. The celebration was a powerful reminder of our mission to empower youth and build a future shaped by their vision and energy.

Garba Competition: Celebrating Navratri

Navratri 2022 was celebrated with a vibrant Garba competition that brought our community together in a joyful display of culture and tradition. The event was not just about dance; it was about celebrating our heritage and fostering a sense of unity among our members. Participants dazzled with their performances, and the event ended on a high note, leaving everyone looking forward to the next cultural celebration. .

GIRLS Nexus: Empowering Women

In response to growing concerns about women's safety and empowerment, our founder, Mr. Aniruddha Choudhary, launched GIRLS Nexus—Guardianship Initiative for Resilience and Liberation of Sisters—a subsidiary initiative of Youth Invokes. GIRLS Nexus is dedicated to providing a safe and supportive space for women and girls, offering resources, guidance, and a platform to address the challenges they face in society. Led and managed by a team of committed women, this initiative ensures that every girl feels secure and empowered to discuss the issues that affect her. GIRLS Nexus has successfully hosted a variety of online events, including article writing and painting competitions, aimed at fostering creativity and raising awareness about women's issues. This initiative is a critical part of our broader mission to create an inclusive and supportive community for all. .
