About Us

Young Influx is a youth-led platform dedicated to celebrating young people by publishing their changemaking stories, amplifying their voices, and inspiring action for social and environmental good.

We believe that every young person holds the power to create change, and by uniting their voices, we can build ripples of impact that reach across communities and borders.

Founded in 2020 by Prakhar Agrawal, then a student at the University of Delhi, Young Influx began as a simple dream: to celebrate youth, amplify their voices, and create real opportunities for them to drive meaningful change.

What started as a platform to share stories has now grown into a global community that champions advocacy, action, collaboration, and hope for a better world.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide young people with a platform to share their stories, place their voices at the forefront, and ensure no voice goes unheard. We aim to empower youth through campaigns that inspire collective action for social and environmental change.

We are committed to supporting youth-led initiatives aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), fostering a global movement toward a more sustainable and inclusive future.

Our Story

Young Influx was founded in 2020 by Prakhar Agrawal, driven by his passion for youth empowerment and social change.

His journey began with grassroots experiences, such as the Swachh Bharat Summer Internship in Tughlaqabad, South Delhi, where he led sanitation and waste management campaigns — sparking his belief in the power of community-driven change.

This commitment deepened through the Media for Social Change Fellowship by YES Bank Foundation, where he sharpened his advocacy skills and reinforced his desire to use storytelling as a tool for social good.

Prakhar’s leadership experience grew through volunteering projects led with his college’s National Service Scheme (NSS) and Eco-Club, where he gained hands-on skills in youth leadership and capacity building.

Young Influx was pre-incubated at the ANDC inStart Foundation, receiving initial mentorship, alongside participation in the Wadhwani Foundation’s NEN programs on entrepreneurship, eventually earning certification as a Real Venture.

The platform was further shaped through various leadership and changemaking fellowships, including the SMILE Fellowship by Pravah, Jagriti Yatra, the Changelooms Fellowship by ComMutiny – The Youth Collective, and the Asia Youth Changemakers Program by ARROW.

What began as a simple dream became a thriving community — amplifying youth voices for global change.
