Northeast Youth Forum

Northeast Youth Forum is based at the Yuva Vikas Kendra in the Amingaon area of Kalibari. It’s a bit of a drive out into Kamrup Rural, but it’s a good spot for what we do. The building is pretty basic and serves as our main hub for everything. We’ve got a few rooms where we keep our stuff and meet up to plan things. It’s not like those modern offices you see in the center of town. Here, we deal with whatever the day throws at us, whether it’s a leak in the roof or a spotty phone signal. The surroundings are fairly quiet, which is nice when we’re trying to concentrate on a big project. We have a lot of young people coming in and out of the center, so there’s always a bit of energy in the air. We don’t have much in the way of luxury, just some plastic chairs and a few long tables that have seen better days. Usually, we start the day with a quick talk about the schedule and then everyone gets to work. There’s a small shop down the road where we go to get snacks and tea when we need a break. It feels like a real community space rather than a formal institution. We just try to keep things running smoothly and make sure there’s always someone around to answer questions.
