We are the voice of Young Indians globally.
The membership of Young Indians is open (subject to approval by the concerned committee at each chapter) to a person of Indian origin between the age groups of 21 and 40, and an existing member can continue until the age of 45. There is no entry barrier to becoming a member of this organization; any person in a legal profession, whether it is a lawyer, doctor, professional, farmer, businessman, or NGO worker, can become a member and contribute to the nation-building activities and initiatives of the chapters through the various verticals and platforms/special initiatives. While the membership has no entry, it is expected that the member abide by the Yi Core Values, which are as follows:
Lead positive change and have an impact by putting compassionate thoughts into action in order to build the country in which we want to live and prosper. Yi’s projects and ventures exemplify the Yuva spirit of being the agents of change in the country.
Unleash the power of standing together as youth of a country that is diverse in its backgrounds and geography, yet is inclusive.
Yi celebrates the positive leadership of the individual, i.e., the member in the organization, and strives for the goals to move from success to significance, whether as a student, an entrepreneur, or a professional.
Valuing all people and being the best version of oneself are important, as are growing in trust and being mindful of the diversity around you. Take the team along on transformational experiences as an individual and as a team to impact positive outcomes.
Personal responsibility is core to learning, engaging with the membership, and evolving into leadership roles. Learning events, socials, and retreats are aimed at empowering peer networks locally, nationally and globally.
Create infinite possibilities in yourself and in your nation through entrepreneurship and innovation.
There is a membership subscription levied on members each year, which varies from chapter to chapter and lies within the range of INR 10,000 to INR 30,000 plus applicable GST.
Any member can contribute to Yi at the chapter level by volunteering to be part of the existing initiatives of the chapter through the verticals (please refer to Youth Leadership, Nation Building, and Thought Leadership on the homepage) or by actively participating in them. Over a period, a member may also become part of the chapter’s Executive Committee as the Chair or Co-Chair of a certain vertical in Yi, depending on his or her interest in and contribution to that vertical, or as a special invitee, and display leadership in executing activities as decided in consultation by the members of the team.
A person shall cease to be a member of Yi if he or she does not subscribe to the Yi objectives, initiatives, or spirit, contravenes the norms and rules of acceptable behavior, or is convicted of any criminal offence by a competent government authority or court, with the approval of an absolute majority (2/3rds) of the Executive Committee and the past chapter chairs in consultation with the Chair of Yi for the region.
All members and non-members should be aware that any amount paid for activities in whatever form (such as a delegate fee, sponsorship, etc.) will now be used to cover various expenses for Young Indians (Yi).Any remaining balance amount will be carried forward perpetually to future years to be used for Yi’s other future activities.
