Nepal Youth Council (NYC) is a youth-led, non-profit, non-governmental, and fully volunteer-based social organization driven by the passion and energy of young individuals across Nepal. Since its establishment, NYC has been dedicated to nurturing youth leadership, promoting entrepreneurship, and advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By offering skill-based training and confidence-building initiatives, the organization aims to empower youth, helping them become self-reliant and independent.

With over 13 years of formal experience (officially registered in 2012 AD, with activities beginning informally in 2010), NYC has built a strong social footprint. It operates in all 77 districts of Nepal, supported by an extensive network of committed provincial coordinators. NYC focuses on six key thematic areas: “Youth for SDGs,” “Youth Entrepreneurship,” “Gender Equality, Disability & Social Inclusion,” “Youth for Information & Communication Technology,” “Youth for Elections,” and “Youth for Environment.”
