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.

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 good 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.
