About the Organisation

Makkala Jagriti is a non-profit organization dedicated to enabling access to quality education and holistic development for children and youth from marginalized communities across Karnataka. Through its Community Learning Centres, Makkala

Jagriti creates safe and inclusive spaces in the urban underserved communities of

Bengaluru, where children are provided holistic learning opportunities and are able to unleash their potential.

A Youth facilitator plays an important role realizing our vision to empower youth in marginalized communities. The youth facilitator will be part of an exciting team in building a vibrant, youth friendly and open space for youth to engage and equip themselves in 21st century skills. He/She will be working in one of our Yuva Cafes and will have complete ownership in making the place best suited for youth.

He/She will also support in facilitating Computer sessions in an effective and innovative way.

Also work with the youth to help them work on their roadmap and achieve their goals. We expect you to have a positive understanding of marginalized communities and how education can be a tool of empowerment or transformation.

Youth facilitators will be responsible to maintain the centre, engage youth at the centres and coordinate project activities at the center. They will also be needed to go to the community for home visits etc.
