About the Program:
Punjab Youth Leaders Program (PYLP) is a two-year full time leadership development program which brings together individuals who have shown exceptional leadership potential. During these two years, the PYLP Young Leaders work towards bringing systemic improvements in the functioning of government schools in Punjab. In the process, they get an opportunity to grow by building their own leadership competencies. The aim of the program is to create and nurture a strong community of future leaders who will have the required understanding, competencies and resources to initiate systemic change in Punjab. PYLP is the flagship initiative of Sanjhi Sikhiya, which is a collective of passionate individuals committed to transform Punjab into a land of Hope, Courage and Possibilities.
