We’re proud to share that Yash Karale, member of the Youth Advisory Group (YAG) of GOYN and Lighthouse Communities Foundation, represented India at the ASEAN Youth Conference 2025 in Malaysia — and was honoured with the Most Inspiring Youth Award 2025 among 120 delegates from 15 countries!
“What stood out to me was how similar our struggles are, whether in Kuala Lumpur, Pune, Jakarta, Tokyo, or Manila – young people everywhere are fighting to be heard, to be seen, and to be trusted with responsibility. I’m grateful to GOYN and LCF for supporting me in this journey.”
Yash will now collaborate with PlusVibes, a social mental health initiative, to create peer support spaces and well-being resources for youth in Pune.
We celebrate Yash’s achievement and his commitment to amplifying youth voices and building an inclusive future!
