Razakar is Laureate Foundation’s approach to rethinking volunteering—not as a one-time act of service, but as a structured pathway for learning, civic engagement, and leadership development.
The program brings together young individuals from diverse backgrounds and equips them with the skills needed to engage meaningfully with communities, institutions, and social challenges. Through focused training, participants are introduced to civic awareness, communication, ethical engagement, and problem-solving, enabling them to understand not just what to do, but why it matters.
What makes Razakar different is its emphasis on guided placement and purposeful involvement. Volunteers are not placed randomly; instead, they are connected to initiatives, spaces, and programs where their contribution is relevant, visible, and impactful. This ensures that their engagement goes beyond participation and leads to real ownership and learning.
Ownership
Learning
As part of Laureate Foundation’s ecosystem, Razakars actively support ongoing initiatives—ranging from advocacy campaigns to community-based programs—while also developing the confidence to act as change-makers within their own environments. The program encourages reflection, responsibility, and a sense of civic duty, helping young people transition from passive observers to active contributors in society.
At its core, Razakar is not just about volunteering—it is about building a generation that understands its role in shaping safer, more inclusive, and responsive communities.
