JOIN THE LP4Y TEAM
Come and get involved with the Youth who live on the margins of society. Put your skills to good use in the field and join our teams of volunteers, known as Catalysts, because of the effect
that they have in the field!
Catalysts are vectors of positive energy who have a strong impact on the Youth, communities and partners with whom they work on a daily basis.

Coach of Digiwomen program, Bangalore, India, 2018-2019
Coordinator India, Feb 2021-Feb 2024
"Paradox and wonder are the words that come to mind when I think of India. For nearly five years, this country has not only shaped my mission but also transformed the way I connect with others and my approach to life.
Working with LP4Y in such a new environment forced me to question my Western ideas, to adopt new perspectives and to get out of my comfort zone.
The old man in the winery with the toothless smile, the neighbour who treats us to sweets, the auto-rickshaw driver with a deceptively stern look... all these encounters punctuate and brighten the daily experience of Catalyst. Some dread it, others are just waiting to dive in, and in the end, most of them feed off it and aspire to return. To "live India" is to live in the moment!"
