National Youth Coordinating Committee (UK)

"It is the duty of all those who are connected with the Sathya Sai Organisations to promote spiritual discipline and dedicate their lives to social service for leading a purposeful life. To promote the awareness of Divinity in human beings and build a genuine sense of brotherhood among people, should be their primary aim."

- Baba

The National Youth Wing in the UK has existed in some form for over two decades. In the last ten years a structure has been developed by the UKCC to help support and develop the spiritual and personal growth of young adults in the UK. Summarised below is brief overview of the structure of NYCC as it is at the moment and activities currently being carried out:

1) National Youth Coordinating Committee comprises of Regional Youth coordinators, SSLTP coordinator, National Youth Choir coordinator and several other extension members who are given responsibility for specific projects. The NYCC is responsible for delivering all youth programmes in the UK. Sitting under the UK council, the NYCC works along with all the other wings of the organisation. The National Youth Coordinator as a representative of the NYCC sits on the UK Council.

2) Regional Youth Coordinating Committee is made up of Centre Youth Coordinators from the region. The Regional Youth Coordinator leads the regional youth team, helping to organise youth activities in the local area, helping to develop centre youth coordinators, working with other wings in the region through the Regional Coordinating Committee (the RYC is also part of the Regional Coordinating Committee).

3) Centre Youth coordinators are responsible for encouraging and motivating youth in their centres. They work with the centre committee to help organise centre activities, and help develop young adults. Centre youth are all young adults from 18 – 35.
