Pakistan's first Broad Based Organization aspiring to recruit and train leaders.

This Ramadan, we at the Society for Youth (SFY) came together with partners and volunteers to organize our Eid Gift Project: an initiative rooted in dignity, care, and community led action. Ahead of Eid, we spent meaningful time with students from an under resourced school, creating a space of joy, play, and belonging before sharing thoughtfully prepared Eid gifts.

For us, this project was not just about giving. It was about how we give, and who gets to lead. Our grassroots organizers practiced leadership by planning operations, coordinating volunteers, engaging with children, and organizing celebrations with empathy and intention. Through games, conversations, and shared laughter, we saw how joy itself can become a powerful civic practice.

This work reflects our belief that leadership is cultivated through experiential learning: by showing up, reflecting, and organizing together. When young people lead with care, power disparities begin to shrink, and communities grow stronger.

We’ve shared a reflective project blog capturing what we did, why it mattered, and what we learned along the way.

This Ramadan, we at the Society for Youth (SFY) came together with our partners to organize our Eid Gifts Project at AIC Orphanage Mardan, part of our Youth Ramadan Drive. Ahead of Eid, our grassroots leaders and volunteers spent meaningful time with orphaned children: sharing laughter, play, and celebration, before distributing thoughtfully prepared Eid gifts alongside Beaconhouse School System Mardan Official.

This project was about more than gifts. It was about showing up with intention. Through structured play, team based activities, shared iftar, and moments of mentorship, our leaders practiced what community rooted leadership looks like in action. For the children, Eid became a moment of dignity and belonging. For our volunteers, it became a classroom where leadership was learned through patience, care, coordination, and responsibility.

Projects like this reflect our belief that reducing power disparities begins at the grassroots: when young people take ownership of organizing joy and care within their communities. Compassion, when organized, becomes lasting community power.

Our Eid Gifts Project at Noori Welfare Foundation brought SFY leaders together to create a joyful, dignity centered celebration for children in underserved communities. From sourcing and preparing age appropriate gifts to planning safe, welcoming event spaces, our teams practiced hands on leadership; logistics, empathy, safeguarding, and community engagement. The celebration wasn’t just about gifts; it was about ensuring every child felt seen, included, and valued. By organizing joy with care and precision.

Happy Ramadan from SFY! 🌙

We are excited to share an update from our Ration Drive Project, one of the core pillars of SFY’s annual Ramadan Drive. Across the first 10 days of Ramadan, SFY leaders, volunteers, and community partners come together to support 18 under-resourced families with dignity-first, relationally grounded food ration packages, across 4 communities in Mardan.

At SFY, ration distribution is not just a charitable act; it is a leadership practicum. Our teams practice outreach, procurement, ethical surveying, logistics, and collaborative planning. Volunteers learn how to identify households respectfully, design efficient and safe packing lines, negotiate with vendors, and coordinate distributions that honor each family’s time and dignity.

This year, we are working alongside neighbors, vendors, and local institutions to build communities of care and strengthen the relationships that reduce power disparities over time. Every ration packed is a reflection of someone’s leadership growth; a young person learning to organize, plan, listen, and serve with precision.

Thank you to all donors, partners, and volunteers who make this possible. Together, we are nurturing a generation of leaders who understand that compassion must be organized to create lasting change.

Happy Ramadan! 🌙

At SFY, Ramadan is more than a month of giving; it’s a 30day leadership practicum where compassion becomes organized action. This year we’re excited to cogenerate with peers and partners across three cities, engaging four religious communities and more than a dozen local institutions to decrease power disparities through collective action.

What’s ahead:
• Phase 1 (Days 1–10): Community-anchored food ration work that protects dignity and strengthens neighborhood ties.

• Phase 2 (Days 11–20): Interfaith iftars and relational meetings where participants (mostly under 30) map commonly affecting issues and commit to joint next steps.

• Phase 3 (Days 21–30): Childsafe Eid celebrations and gift distribution that make joy a civic standard.

Why it matters: We’re training leaders by doing outreach, logistics, facilitation, and coalitionbuilding. guided by indigenous leadership and participatory praxis. If you’re a community org, faith center, university society, or local business, come build with us.

Beyond the Hype: We Are Setting A New Standard for Youth Leadership

Yesterday was the video; today, we invite you to step into the room through the lens.

These highlights from the YLDP Launch represent more than just a successful event. They represent a breakthrough in how we organize for the future of Pakistan. After traversing 22 cities and engaging 60+ stakeholders to identify the "Pragmatic Learning Gap," we finally gathered the coalition ready to close it.

From the high-stakes endorsements of government officials to the interfaith testimonials that moved the room, these photos capture the grit and magnetism of a movement that is no longer just a plan; it is an active mission. The YLDP wasn't built in a boardroom; it was built in the streets, schools, and community centers of 22 cities.

Our latest blog dives deep into the YLDP Journey:

Our history of evidence-based research.
The 4-module "Operating System" for leadership.
How we are transforming students from passive learners into ethical builders.
