Cooperation Between Temples and Youth Groups Sonia Chanana & Parthiban Manoharan (Hindu Youth Network – Canada) September 11-13, 2009
What we are: The Hindu Youth Network is a spiritual, cultural and networking group for students and young professionals (15-30). Our core goals are friendship, faith and community.
Mission statement: To build a grassroots, national community space, sharing the philosophies and virtues of Hindu Dharma among young people, without division based on language, sect or nationality.
The results: With 6000+ registered members, we are Canada's largest & fastest growing Hindu youth movement. For the very first time, along with our extensive grassroots network of HYN chapters (12 city-based chapters in 3 provinces across Canada) we have also brought together most Hindu youth organizations, all major temple youth groups and 80% of the Hindu university associations in Canada.
Both national and international mainstream news media have approached us to speak on behalf of Hindu Canadians. In prominent features on MTV/CTV/CBC/The Globe & Mail, etc. • We’ve also established contacts with global/national political leaders at all levels of government.
