The Youth Association of Pakistan (YAP) is the first legally registered, leading nonprofit youth organization in the country. YAP serves as a platform by the youth and for the youth, uniting thousands of young individuals from across Pakistan to enhance their capacities and contribute to the nation’s betterment.

Our initiatives span a wide array of programs designed to provide Pakistani youth and vulnerable segments of the population with opportunities for training, empowerment, and self-recognition. By acquiring essential skills, our youth are becoming productive and responsible citizens, vital to any respectable society.

YAP promotes sustainable change through mobilization, institutional development, youth networking, and advocacy. We organize various activities, seminars, conferences, training sessions, workshops, and roundtable discussions to raise awareness and foster development.

To date, the Youth Association of Pakistan has collaborated with numerous national and international NGOs, institutions, organizations, and think tanks, working in multiple areas of youth development, implementation, and partnership.
