Aman Yuva is a program designed for youth volunteers for peace and justice. It brings people of diverse faiths, religions, genders, classes, castes, languages, and regions together. Volunteering with Aman Biradari can be both a rewarding and an inspiring experience, as you meet and work with people who are bound by an active commitment to the universal values of humanism, justice, and truth.
