About us

Laureate Foundation emerged from the shared vision of a group of young citizens who felt that talent, potential, and leadership among youth were often overlooked—not because of a lack of ability, but due to the absence of inclusive platforms that recognize and nurture their voices. Determined to change this, they came together to create a space where learning, leadership, and social responsibility intersect.

Built on this vision, Laureate Foundation operates as an alternate education platform that equips citizens—especially young people—with the knowledge, skills, and civic values needed to shape a more inclusive and equitable society. We bridge the gap between conventional education and practical learning by designing accessible fellowships and courses in digital literacy, financial inclusion, employability skills, gender-responsive leadership, civic engagement, climate justice, and health advocacy.

Our approach is not project-dependent—it is self-sustained, value-driven, and community-centered, designed to empower learners to act as catalysts of change in their own environments.

Laureate Foundation believes that lasting transformation begins when young people are given not just a voice, but also the tools to lead with integrity, accountability, and compassion. We see education as a lifelong civic process that transforms individuals into leaders and communities into movements for collective progress.

In every initiative, we strive to redefine learning as empowerment—turning awareness into action, potential into purpose, and participation into social impact.

Our Philosophy

The Laureate Foundation is a premier youth organization committed to fostering a peaceful society that upholds gender equality and human rights. Established in 2008 by a group of young activists, our core work focuses on enhancing the contribution of youth in development processes and the socio-economic empowerment of marginalized groups, including young women, peasants, and minorities. We are deeply committed to redefining the role of youth in leadership and governance and actively mainstreaming the youth agenda. A key part of this is bringing back the spirit of cause-based volunteering by organizing targeted capacity building and developing strong Volunteer Management Systems, ensuring youth engagement leads to sustainable, meaningful outcomes rather than just
