Youth Leadership Training

Shaping Confident, Ethical Changemakers

At KVKF, we believe that true transformation begins with values-based leadership — especially in
regions where young people are seeking purpose and direction. That’s why we sponsor the Youth
Leadership Training Programme (YLTP) designed and delivered by the Art of Living Foundation.
This powerful programme empowers youth with life skills, resilience, and the capacity to lead — within
their communities and beyond.

What We Support

In partnership with Art of Living, KVKF brings YLTP to young people across Gurdaspur and Pathankot.
The programme includes:

  • Character building and ethical leadership training
  • Breathwork and meditation for clarity and stress management
  • Communication skills and public speaking
  • Service-based leadership and community responsibility
  • Confidence-building exercises and team projects

Sessions are led by trained Art of Living faculty, and adapted to the rural context of Punjab.

Why It Matters

In environments affected by unemployment, addiction, and disengagement, many young people feel lost.
This programme helps them:

  • Reconnect with their inner strength
  • Take responsibility for their future
  • Lead by example in their families and villages
  • Inspire others to follow
