Youth Commission Sri Lanka Is A Strong Team
Youth Commission Sri Lanka is a non-political, non-racial, and non-sectarian youth-led movement that seeks to unite all youth into a movement working for the development of youth, well-being, harmony, and peace of mankind in Sri Lanka, paving the way for a peaceful and prosperous Sri Lanka for future generations. This was formed in 2020 by eleven young social activists.
The basic foundation for YCSL’s creation was to bring peace education into society and to strengthen the hidden leadership skills of the youths at the national level. Youth Commission Sri Lanka wishes to develop the leadership-personality of the youth community for social development under the theme “Today’s Youths are Today’s Leaders”, dispelling the misconception that “the heroes of tomorrow are the little us” of many youths.
