INTERNSHIP DIARY
First Year NGO Internship Diary: Youth Empowerment Foundation (YEF), New Delhi
[Summer period (COVID-19 break)- 10th June 2020 to 10th July 2020]
Youth Empowerment Foundation (YEF) started working on social welfare initiatives from
late 2015. It was registered under Societies Registration Act XXI of 1860 in the year 2017.
Mr. Rambabu Sharma was the founder of YEF. Centres were opened in the vision to equip
our youngsters with knowledge and skills to make them self-reliant. The team started visiting
slums for the counselling of children and parents. YEF is providing a platform that will help
the underprivileged children of the society to grow for themselves as well as for the society.
It also helps to develop confidence which in turn adds to their mind development and mental
health. Being able to look up to themselves for their careers and being self-dependent leaves
them with a spark that brings out the best in these children. The main objective of this
organisation is to accomplish the mission of envisage an educated India in which every
individual has the opportunity to grow and learn by spreading education in every village or
slum of India through a team of youths who are working hard to build and accomplish our
dream of an educated India. YEF is committed to working for the upliftment of
underprivileged. Empowerment of the youth is the foremost agenda.
The internship work period in the NGO began on the 10th of June 2020 and came to an end by
the 10th of July 2020, which covers the work period took place for a month.
The first day when I joined the NGO through the online mode, a virtual online
interview was taken by Ms. Bhumika by a WhatsApp audio call followed by a formal
email to the organization, and I was appointed as a Law and Legal intern in the group
and then I was added to the team’s WhatsApp group named YEF- LEGAL TEAM.
The mode of instruction and the work allotment to the interns were instructed in the
group to follow up with the work in the NGO.

webinar for one week (on every Saturday of every week). And each webinar will of

presentation of introducing the topic and with the various subtopics was discussed by
the fellow teammates with a detailed manner in explaining the laws provided for
children and its legislative provisions and legal aspects of it creating a legal awareness
to understand the laws and its implementations . The NGO was completely stratified
with the performance of the webinar by our university and really appreciated the team
and there a tremendous positive response in our first step of work. The mode of
webinar was on google meets as the online platform to access the meet.
On the same day the coordinator contacted me to give my legal opinion towards the

legal provisions by the laws against harassment against women and the help was

CONCLUSION:
It’s been a remarkable time in working as an intern in YEF and this internship period of one-
month helped me learn a lot specially to express my thoughts on the given topics. As a law
student, the basic skill needed is addressing people which I have developed from here. I am
glad that I got a platform to share my ideas and opinions on the topics in a recognised
organisation like YEF. The team work and the assists among the learned outcomes as mass
retrospective communication of the topic and how is to create awareness for a good cause in
good conscience. The mandatory internship for the 1 st year of study in the university was
completed in the mode of online platform and this was a challenging internship because of
the covid-19 lockdown and the primary fieldwork was a major missing in the internship but
the online mode of internship has new way of digital work mode and learning experience was
exciting
