National Youth Service is a program started to promote a culture of volunteerism amongst youth in Nepal. The development of Youth Initiative as an organization itself has been largely rooted on voluntary service of a group of enthusiast young people in Nepal. To realize and re-emphasize the importance of such voluntary service, YI has launched NYS as a program that can involve young volunteers at a large scale and promote youth volunteerism at a national level. NYS recognizes volunteerism as an important component of education and hopes to establish itself as a ‘hub of young volunteers’.
