| Introduction | At Turning Point Youth Welfare Foundation, we believe in giving a ‘second chance’ to the out of school deprived youth and help them earn a decent living. By providing vocational training and life skills, we intend to turn the less privileged youth into an asset for the society and the nation. |
| Interests | It is estimated that by 2020 around 500 million people in our country will reach working age, which will be the largest in the world. At the same time, looking at the current scenario where more than 80% of youth in the country have not completed school, it can be inferred that these youth, unless given vocational skills, will neither have enough competency to work as skilled labour to meet the growing needs of various industries, nor will they work for long as casual labour before falling prey to an addiction leading to battered minds & bodies. |
| Favorite Movies | Turning Point has a flexible and innovative mode that has been appreciated by the Planning Commission and has proved effective in the urban, rural and tribal belts. Our model ensures that the local community needs are met, thus benefiting the youth as well as the entire community or village. |
| Favorite Music | Thus, Turning Point is an inspired movement with a desire to bring about a change for the betterment of the society and the nation. |
| Favorite Books | Turning Point is an authorized Vocational Training Provider under the Ministry of Labour and Employment’s Modular Employability Scheme for conducting skills development trainings. |
Turning Point welcomes volunteers on an individual or group basis. We also invite international students to volunteer as a part of their internship programme. Volunteers can choose from a list of options in which they would like to help our organisation according to their interest and capabilities.
