The Youth Advocacy Network Bhutan is informal, organized youth-led network made and run by the youth volunteers of Bhutan, aimed at creating a forum for dialogue, discussion, and cooperation to advocate for the meaningful partnership in all policies and programs related to young people at all levels. We work on imparting advocacy skills, replicate ideas, raise awareness amongst the youth and multi stake holders in civic education, peace and intercultural/interfaith harmony.
Only as a youth does a youth know about other youth. The YAN family believes in making customized programs suited best for the youths today to make a better society for tomorrow. With the growing social and physical tension despite an advantage over the growth of the generation, it is on us to create a just and literate community leaving none behind.
