The Change Looms Award
The Change Looms Award recognizes youth who are actively seeking to promote
change in society. These are youth between the age of 17-25 who have a
well-rounded understanding of the problems society faces, believe that they can
make a difference, and have identified an avenue that they can pursue to make a
change in society. They can be young people working in teams or youth working
on their own with communities.
We believe that such youth need not just to be supported and encouraged but also
recognized by society for the work they are doing. The Change Looms Award
endeavours to do that for these young people.
The Change Looms Award will be given to 7-10 youth initiatives. It consists of a
cash prize of Rs. 20,000, recognition at an awards ceremony, in-depth capacity
building, and the opportunity to be mentored by a leading social entrepreneur.
Follow-up grants of up to Rs. 40,000 will be available for up to five of the
award recipients.
Change Looms is a joint initiative between Pravah (www.younginfluencers.com) and
Ashoka: Innovators for the Public (www.ashoka.org). More information about these
organizations can be found on their websites
