YFS started in 2007 to create a platform for volunteering to help society. It aims to make volunteering a movement and has attracted over 5,000 volunteers in 5 years focusing on health, education, and environment issues in rural India. Literacy and health insurance rates are low in rural India demonstrating the need for work in these areas.
