SMILE Rural In-turn-ship: Our flagship youth programme with a twist of in-turn-ship supports a young person to have an inside out leadership journey. They are placed as interns with grass-root organizations & social movements across the country for a period of 3-6 weeks to confront with the realities on-ground and become better adaptive learners.
SMILE Fellowship: A deep dive from the in-turn-ship this 6 months long intensive journey mentors a young person to become a leader, and design and lead social action projects in their own communities. The motto is simple - learn, lead and impact.
