Everytime we have asked an Alumni of YA, what has been their biggest takeaway from Youth Alliance? The answer has been - ‘A sense of Community’. A community that creates authentic and safe spaces enabling belongingness and connections. Where one can express their inner self and are truly felt, seen and heard for who they are.

As more and more people experienced this, they asked us - how do I create it this sense of community within my family, friends, co-workers, neighbourhood or any other community spaces I am part of.

Afterall, as said by Bell Hooks, “One of the most vital ways we sustain ourselves is by building communities, places where we know we are not alone.”

Box of Connections - Tools for Building Community is a tool-kit designed by Youth Alliance and Swacardz that simplifies building and nurturing authentic connections and communities.
