Schools & Youth Programs

We create avenues for students and young people to learn, share, and act — turning awareness into impact through hands-on experiences in nutrition, community service, and food systems.

For Students

Nutrition Education

Curriculum-linked programs in schools that teach children about balanced diets, local food systems, and the science behind the meals we package.

Life Skills Education

Nutrition-focused life skills sessions that empower students to make healthier food choices and understand the link between food, health, and learning.

Meal Packaging Events

Students participate in meal packaging at our warehouses or their own campuses — a hands-on, high-energy experience that connects effort to impact.

Food Collection Drives

Students mobilize their communities to collect food items and essential supplies, which are then channelled to our partner NGOs serving vulnerable communities.

Internships & Placements

Structured internship programs for college students in program management, communications, data, and field operations — real work, real impact.

For Youth

Awareness Campaigns

Youth-led local campaigns on reducing food waste, eating right, and supporting community food programs — from college campuses to neighbourhood drives.

Sanitation & Hygiene Drives

Youth organize community cleanliness drives in rural areas, including handwashing sessions that directly improve health outcomes in the communities we serve.

Food Festivals & Eat-Right Melas

We participate in and organize food festivals and eat-right melas at panchayat, block, district, state, and national levels — and youth are at the center of it all.

Celebrating Food Heroes

Recognizing farmers, food vendors, government officers, social workers, and everyday people who make exemplary contributions to food systems across India.

Rural Living & Learning

Immersive experiences where youth spend time in rural communities, learn about food systems firsthand, and contribute meaningfully to local development.

“We aim to enrich the volunteering experience by creating avenues for sharing and learning — from community internships and field visits to rural living experiences and food collection drives.”
