SCM Youth is the platform for Young People who will create the Future We Should Have.

SCM Young Fellow

An SCM Young Fellow is a young change maker between the ages of 10-24, has pursued an extra-ordinary idea which has the potential to change the way we work and make things better, and wants to tell the world about it. SCM Young fellows critically analyse a problem the world is facing, consider solutions for it, research them and produce a scholarly body of work around it or prove it with a proof of concept. If selected as a fellow, they get a chance to learn directly from SN, get mentorship for improving their idea and work, and become a part of the SCM community. Once refined, the fellows get to share their ideas with the world in the form of SCM Young Talk which shall be posted on the Official SCM Channels.

What do SCM Young Fellows get?

  1. Share their passion and impactful work with the world
  2. Being a part of a action-oriented community of changemakers at SCM
  3. Featured on SCM Youth Channels
